DESIGN APPROACH
Be creative.
I started researching the existing Facebook Profile experience. I've raised some points that potentially could be improved and concepts on how to explore the challenge.
Issues

Too much information
-
Text heavy
-
Not a smart experience, as it doesn't take into account users' context and behaviour
-
Not interactive
-
The layout looks like any other profile page
Opportunities and Insights
-
People are different
-
Everyone is unique
-
Make it more visual and fun

Make it smart
-
Get ready for the Metaverse
-
People are always evolving, real-time suggestions
REFRAMING THE CHALLENGE
Be bold.
How might we redesign the Facebook profile to bring people fun and personalisation
so their transition to the Metaverse feels more natural?
I choose to focus on Facebook Profile creation to highlight UX/UI values.

THE DESIGN CONCEPT
Imagine.
The Metaverse will bring the virtual-reality experience to life. As a result, I believe we will start seeing new ways to build our online presence. With unique features and still unknown new forms of visuals, one thing is right: we will need our version in this world.
Starting with visuals
Visual features impact our presence in any virtual environment. Should we integrate it with your network preferences? Should you have access to your friend's favourite styles? What kind of light treatment makes your avatar cooler?
Your atmosphere is everything.
The atmosphere will help you to interact with people in the Metaverse. Imagine getting to know people's favourite topics and preferences before talking to them. In this new approach, the new profile creation also displays recommendations based on your existing profile.

Much more to explore
Virtual reality will redefine our interactions in digital spaces, and we want full control of our digital ID. So I expect new technologies like these to simplify our choices and bring more transparency and fun while we define our profiles. A unified system wouldn't be that bad...
I had a lot of o fun doing this challenge.
Besides creative thinking, I challenged myself in the interaction design space, UX and UI Design.
