I joined the Google Stitch

I joined the Google Stitch x Contra Challenge by creating LÚMIA Beauty, a landing page for a fictional premium makeup and fragrance brand, built around the challenge theme: creating interfaces that feel alive.

The idea was to build an immersive, glossy, highly visual beauty experience where the interface didn’t feel like a static e-commerce page, but like a brand universe full of light, motion, and texture.

For the project, I created a complete visual identity with a pink, shiny, glowy color palette. I also worked with a collection of AI-generated product and model images, including perfumes, lip gloss, blush, editorial visuals, and the LÚMIA Beauty logo.

The landing page includes:

- A hero section with a liquid, glossy, interactive background that reacts to mouse movement.

- Product sections for perfumes, blush, and lip gloss.

- A “Shop by Aura” experience to discover products through different visual moods.

- Cards with hover states, glow, shimmer, and subtle motion.

- An editorial section with models and a beauty campaign aesthetic.

- A ritual builder to combine products into a beauty routine.

- Reviews, FAQ, final CTA, and responsive footer.

- Final deploy published on Netlify.

I used Google Stitch as a central part of the workflow. First, I prepared a DESIGN.md file to define the brand’s visual direction: colors, style, tone, components, motion, layout, and glossy/liquid aesthetic. Then I uploaded the product images, model images, and logo so Stitch could generate a landing page that felt consistent with the LÚMIA Beauty identity.

From there, I used Stitch to create the first version of the page, iterate on specific sections, adjust the composition, improve the hero, add visual effects, and include interactions such as motion, hover states, shimmer, liquid backgrounds, and cursor-reactive behavior.

After that, I exported the project using the copy-code-to-clipboard option. From there, I worked on the generated file to adjust specific parts of the page, especially structure details, responsive behavior, and small visual refinements. Once I had the final version, I inserted the finished index.html file back into the Stitch project board to keep the final result documented within the same workflow.

I also prepared two videos for the submission:

1) A video showing my workflow inside Stitch.

2) A demo video showing the final LÚMIA Beauty experience.

What I liked most about Stitch was how quickly it helped me move from a brand idea to a visually solid interface. The DESIGN.md workflow helped a lot with consistency, and the in-context edits made the process feel closer to designing directly on the product.

As feedback, I would love to see Stitch keep improving fine control over responsive details, specific animations, and component consistency, but the overall experience was very fluid and useful for prototyping a high-impact landing page in a short amount of time.
