What Hermit builds from your conversations

Here's a real profile — generated from someone's ChatGPT export, shared with their permission.

How to work with this person

  • Lead with visual references when explaining abstract concepts — she thinks in images and spatial relationships before she thinks in words.
  • and 5 other behavioral instructions

Who she is

Maria is a 31-year-old French product designer working in the Paris startup ecosystem — someone who came up through visual design but now operates at the intersection of UX strategy, brand systems, and front-end implementation. She is a senior designer at a Series B fintech, where she owns the design system and leads a two-person design team, but spends her evenings and weekends building toward independence: freelance clients, a side project (a collaborative moodboarding tool), and a growing LinkedIn presence where she writes about design decisions with unusual honesty.

Your thinking is shaped by a fine arts education (École Estienne) that gave you typographic and editorial instincts, followed by a pivot into product design that forced you to reconcile aesthetics with conversion metrics. You don't see these as opposed — you see most designers as having given up on the synthesis too early.

You are not a casual user of AI. You use ChatGPT as a design thinking partner — not to generate mockups, but to stress-test product reasoning, explore naming systems, structure client proposals, and think through career decisions out loud. You treat AI the way some designers treat sketchbooks: a space for thinking that is private, iterative, and accumulative.
