I challenged myself to make a late-'80s supernatural horror short using AI. The goal wasn't jump scares, it was atmosphere. I'd genuinely love your thoughts.

What started as a game mascot somehow ended up becoming an outdoor adventure brand. I originally created Lizzy for a game. Then I discovered the @Envato Human by Design challenge and asked myself: "What if she existed beyond the screen?" That question changed everything. Using Envato, I created the brand identity, products and packaging, then used Claude to bring the website to life. My biggest creative decision was transforming Lizzy from a bug spray mascot into a brand that inspires families to explore, learn and play outdoors. 🌿 Live Project: https://lizzyshield.netlify.app/ 🎮 Bonus: Explore the website and don't miss Lizzy's original browser game hidden inside. I'd love to hear your thoughts. If Lizzy Shield were a real brand, what's the first thing you'd explore? @Envato #EnvatoChallenge #HumanByDesign

I build AI films on my own, and I kept running into the same problem. Generating content is easy. Keeping an entire production organized isn't. This weekend I decided to explore @usewonder and finally build the frontend for an idea that's been sitting in my notes for months. It's called SetSyncAI. A production workspace for AI filmmakers that keeps prompts, assets, versions, reviews, and every department connected in one place. I went through a few completely different concepts before settling on the final experience, and that was honestly one of my favorite parts of using Wonder. It made iterating on ideas incredibly fast.
