Flora walks across a field to school while children watchA small looping illustration: three children leap in a field of sage-green hills and settle to watch as a girl — Flora — walks across carrying a ridiculously big tote bag; the field fades away and a little red schoolhouse appears, where she has arrived. The scene settles on two children drawing at a desk by a window, Flora's crayon still moving; then the view pushes into the page she was filling and rests on her drawing — a sun, a moon, stars, a rainbow, sunny rain, flowers, mountains and trees all at once, with a little dreamer holding a red balloon.

AI, like design, is only as useful as the intent we bring to it.

I'm Flora, a Senior Product Designer. I design enterprise experiences across cloud, security, and AI at Microsoft. Alongside the work, I keep a Toybox — a free, public-domain library of playbooks, prompts, templates, patterns, and small tools for designers working inside complex, AI-shaped products. Released under CC0, so use anything, anywhere, no attribution required.

Prototypes

2

Live, one-page demos that stress-test a design idea in the browser — built to be poked at.

Built with curiosity and many experiments.

Some animations were AI-assisted and inspired by Lottie files (opens in a new tab) and creators whose work helped shape this space.
