Day 17 of sharing my design journey.

One thing I’ve come to realize:

There’s no real limit to how much you can improve.

3 months ago, I designed my first mobile interface, unsure, just figuring things out.

Progress didn’t happen overnight. It was small, consistent effort… and then suddenly, things started to click.

Growth is quiet at first, then visible.

Still learning. Still building.

Good morning. ☕️

Designers don’t learn by watching tutorials. They learn by building.

So I built DesignCollab — a platform where designers collaborate on real products like GitHub.

Studied patterns from Mobbin (GitHub, Notion, Slack) → turned them into a real workflow.

Excited to join the Contra × Mobbin challenge and share a quick idea from my UI/UX practice.

Instead of browsing Mobbin manually, I explored how AI can structure and automate design research.

🧠 Mobbin Research Skill for Claude Code (Find Skill in comments)

I built a reusable workflow that:

🔍 Searches Mobbin by screen type and category

🖼 Collects 15–25 curated references

📊 Analyzes layout, typography, spacing, and components

Generates:

📄 Design brief

🎨 Design tokens

🗂 Screenshot index

🧩 Ready-to-use design context

Turns inspiration into a repeatable system, not a one-time exploration.

A mobile app where parents reward kids with virtual “cookies” 🍪 for tasks. Kids can cash out or invest to learn financial habits.

I studied the world’s best mobile patterns on Mobbin. From health rings to social matching, to build a research-backed moodboard. I was inspired by apps like Greg, Apple Health, Shop and Bumble. I translated these high-end UX behaviors into a cohesive design system that prioritizes clarity and local trust.

Then I jumped with all my ideas into Figma Make. Here it comes Pottr, a fusion between quantified plant health with a social graph. It includes plant care tracking but it doesn't stop there. It’s an ecosystem where you match with neighbors based on shared plants, trade seeds or tools, and request community care when you travel. It’s a premium, hyperlocal take on sustainability with custom branding and a neighborhood "open-world" map.
