As GenAI platforms had increasingly become places where people shop, Ulta wanted to explore an experimental ChatGPT plugin that lets users build personalized beauty bundles through natural language.
I led product design for an experimental ChatGPT plugin that let users build personalized beauty bundles through natural language, moving product discovery from "What should I search for?" to "What am I trying to achieve?" The core challenge wasn't designing another shopping interface. It was orchestrating a multi-product purchase in a platform we didn't control, where conversation replaced navigation entirely.
This plugin is currently in finalization. Full case study coming soon. Here's what to expect:
✓ The Design Problem
✓ Design Strategy: The Bundle as a Commerce Abstraction
✓ Key Design Decisions
✓ The Work Beyond Screens
✓ Outcome & Next Steps
