My Creative Types is an interactive personality test that helps users discover their creative identity through 15 immersive questions grounded in psychological research.

Built in collaboration with the Adobe Studio, the experience blends expressive 3D characters, thoughtful storytelling, and generative AI integration to inspire reflection and empower creative potential.

THE CHALLENGE

Evolving a Beloved Experience for the Future of Creativity

Adobe set out to reinvent their widely recognized Creative Types quiz, expanding it beyond a personality test into a richer, more inspiring journey. Their goal was to deepen its emotional impact and visual storytelling while aligning the experience with Adobe’s broader narrative around creativity and innovation. They needed a partner who could help bring this vision to life creatively, technically, and collaboratively.

THE SOLUTION

Building a Personality Driven Digital Journey

Wrecking Ball partnered closely with Adobe to design and develop an experience that feels both playful and profound. From early UX strategy through final engineering, we helped transform Creative Types into a high-performance, web-based destination where science, storytelling, and technology converge.

We integrated expressive 3D characters designed by Anton Hjertstedt, emotionally resonant animated transitions by Tania Kalina, and the voice of Carolyn Gregoire’s creative psychology. Our development team architected a fast, scalable platform built for global reach, including integration with Adobe Firefly for generating custom creative content based on quiz results.

THE RESULT

Inspiring Creativity and Engagement at Scale

The Creative Types experience launched alongside Adobe’s brand presence at TED2025, where it became a key interactive moment within the Reimagination Lounge. Thousands of attendees took the test onsite and online, reflecting on their creative roles, sharing results across social media, and engaging in the larger conversation about human potential in the age of AI.

The experience helped position Adobe not just as a provider of tools, but as a catalyst for self-discovery and creative empowerment.
