I built a working prototype for a sports fashion app using design.md. It was a great starting point for setting up the basics like typography, spacing, colours, and layout, which made it much easier to stay consistent throughout the design.

I've played around with Stitch before and made a few rough drafts, but this version feels like a big step forward. What I really enjoyed was the balance between AI-generated screens and manually connecting, refining, and shaping the experience myself.
By the end, it didn't feel like something AI made for me; it felt like something I built. Stitch handled a lot of the heavy lifting, but there was still enough control to make the product feel handcrafted and intentional.
Really impressed by how quickly it helped establish the foundation while still leaving plenty of room for creativity and refinement.
Aura - The World's First Emotion-Adaptive Interface System
Designed with Google Stitch.
As a developer, I've used plenty of AI tools that can generate screens, but I was curious about something different with Stitch:
Could I use it to create an experience-first interface that felt alive rather than just another website?
That question became AURA β an experimental emotion-adaptive interface that transforms its visual environment based on how users want to feel.
Instead of approaching the challenge as a traditional landing page, I wanted to explore a more immersive direction. What if an interface could behave like a living environment? What if changing an emotional state could alter the atmosphere, motion, lighting, color palette, and overall experience?
To test that idea, I designed AURA as a digital experience where users can explore emotional worlds such as Joy, Peace, Wonder, Creativity, Ambition, and Reflection.
How Stitch fit into the workflow
I didn't start with prompts, I started with ideas.
The first step was sketching rough wireframes and visual concepts to establish the structure and flow of the experience. I then created a custom design.md document containing the creative direction, emotional worlds, visual principles, motion goals, typography, color systems, and overall artistic vision for the project.
After importing those references into Stitch, the process became incredibly fluid. The streaming generation experience was one of the most impressive parts of the workflow. Instead of waiting for a final output, I could literally watch the interface take shape directly on the canvas and react to ideas in real time.
Once the foundation was generated, I spent most of my time using in-place AI edits.
I'd select sections, experiment with different visual treatments, adjust atmosphere, refine layouts, introduce new interactions, and push the experience closer to the vision I had in mind without having to restart from scratch.
That iterative loop felt much closer to actual design work than traditional prompting.
Motion was another area where Stitch stood out.
Since the challenge theme was "Build interfaces that feel alive," I focused heavily on creating smooth transitions, hover interactions, atmospheric movement, environmental effects, and immersive visual storytelling.
The result feels less like a conventional website and more like a digital art installation.
New Stitch features I leaned on
π Imported custom design.md creative direction document
π Imported rough wireframe concepts and visual references
π Streaming generations directly to the canvas
β© In-place AI edits using prompts and point-and-click interactions
π₯ Motion-rich interactions, hover states, and immersive transitions
π¨ Rapid visual experimentation and iteration
π Export-ready workflow for deployment
Feedback on Stitch
Most AI workflows involve repeatedly prompting, waiting, evaluating, and starting over. Stitch felt different, The streaming canvas made the process feel much more collaborative and interactive. Watching designs appear in real time created a stronger sense of momentum and made iteration feel natural.
The ability to import references and then refine sections through in-place edits was probably my favorite part of the experience. Rather than constantly rewriting long prompts, I could focus on improving specific parts of the design while preserving everything that was already working.
As someone who enjoys experimenting with interface concepts, that workflow felt significantly closer to how designers and developers naturally think.
One feature I'd love to see expanded further is even more granular visual control directly within the canvas, allowing creators to tweak generated elements while maintaining the speed of the AI workflow.
Overall, Stitch helped shorten the distance between a rough idea and a polished interactive experience.

This is awesome
My submission for the Google Stitch Challenge is an UI experience in a concept app I called Build a Feeling. π

Some if not most kids usually have harder times opening up to adults about their emotions, especially if they don't know what they are feeling themselves.
This app helps a child understand some of the more complex emotions they may be feeling, but don't know the words for just yet.
Describe an experience by taping text bubbles.
Can be as low as 1 or as many as 4.
The app tells you which emotions they may have felt, description, and validation, making them heard.
The user can log their emotion(s) for the session and have them stored on a separate page with dates and all the other important information.
For this project I used Gemini 3, Gemini 3.1 Pro, and Redesign with Nano Banana in Google Stitch.
This is just a concept design, but can be tuned up with more features, animations, statistics, etc.
I actually loved using Stitch by Google, especially with absolutely zero coding experience prior.
Amazing!
