🏛 The Museum of Possible Lives
"Every choice creates another version of you. This is where they live."
If you could walk through every life you never lived... which one would you choose?
What if every decision you didn't make became a life you could visit?
The Museum of Possible Lives is an interactive mobile experience that transforms alternate futures into a curated museum. Instead of scrolling through profiles or timelines, visitors walk through beautifully designed exhibition rooms, each representing a different version of themselves shaped by a single choice.
Inside the museum, every life is told through artifacts, memories, voice recordings, branching timelines, and curated exhibits. From The Architect to The Musician and The Astronaut, each room reveals how one decision could have unfolded into an entirely different story.
I wanted to explore a simple idea: our lives are defined not only by the choices we make, but also by the ones we leave behind.
Built in Flowstep as a fully interactive multi-screen prototype, I focused on creating a cinematic, emotionally driven experience with polished interactions, seamless navigation, and a consistent design system that feels more like walking through a world-class museum than using a traditional mobile app.
This project was designed to answer one question:
If you could walk through every life you never lived... which one would you choose?

For years I've done the same pointless thing: I pause a film because someone's wearing the exact coat I've been looking for, then I screenshot it, reverse-search it, scroll past forty results that aren't it, and give up.
The thing I wanted was right there in the frame. It just wasn't connected to anything.
So I built it.
Vantara is a streaming service where you pause any moment and it tells you what's in the shot and where to buy it: the exact piece, or its closest match. Because you're never going to find the real 1912 opera coat from the costume department, and you don't want to pay for it either. You want the look, at a price that makes sense.
It's 11 screens across desktop and mobile, including the player, the pause-to-shop panel, item pages with real prices and delivery, a Vault that watches prices and tells you when something drops, and a search that runs backwards. Describe a look, and it finds you the scene it lives in.
I built every screen in Flowstep, driven through the Flowstep MCP server with Claude, on one design system applied across the whole thing.
This is the idea I keep coming back to. Full walkthrough video + case study here: Full Walkthrough

Wow ! Just Read your case study as well & TBH this is some submission you deserve to win this. 👍
Terra - one hidden place on Earth, every day.
I've always loved Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? Whenever there was a question about a place I'd never heard of, I'd think, "How have I never heard of this?"
So I built Terra.
Every morning, it reveals one hidden place, its story, why it matters, and what makes it special. If you ever visit, you'll already know what you're looking at. And yes, there's a daily geography quiz—that's where the idea began.
Guess the place, earn XP, build your streak, and collect discoveries in a rarity-based Passport—a Pokédex for Earth's hidden places.
I designed the entire app in Flowstep, mostly through its MCP server from Claude Code. I'd prompt changes from the terminal and watch the canvas update live, making it easy to iterate before writing production code. The result: 14 screens with one dark, earthy, cinematic design system.
Love this!
Project Link: Fondly
So, I've always had this issue: I don't know what to give my friends that they'll genuinely like. I also never know what to say when people ask what to give me.
The problem isn't the gifts themselves: it's the loss of a nice surprise. Wishlists take the surprise away, and saving my own gift ideas in Excel sheets takes it away too. I didn't know how to keep track. So, I built Fondly.
It sends you random suggestions: it could be a friend asking, or the app just trying to get your vibe. You never know! You can also add gifts for yourself or a friend into Vaults. Vaults remain unseen, only when it's for someone else do you get to use it to find the perfect gift.
It's basically using a recommendation algorithm, but instead of downright selling things, it's about surprises! A surprise could be bought, made by hand, or just spending time together. It preserves that moment of giving someone exactly what they want, and that shared, happy surprise.
The workflow:
Brainstorm with ChatGPT and Claude > Despair > Design with Canva > First Draft > Iteration > Find out I could have edited manually instead of wasting my messages > Final Draft!
Enjoy (the surprise)! 😄
