š Before You Launch Your App, Check These 5 Things
A beautiful interface doesn't always create a great user experience.
Before shipping your product, ask yourself:
ā
Is the primary action obvious?
ā
Can a new user complete a task in under a minute?
ā
Are buttons, colors, and interactions consistent?
ā
Is your interface accessible to all users?
ā
Does every screen have a clear purpose?
Small usability improvements can make a huge difference in user satisfaction, retention, and conversions.
Whether you're building an AI app, SaaS platform, or mobile application, taking time to review the user experience before launch can help you catch issues before your users do.

Introducing KEEPS: A Digital Home for Physical Memories
KEEPS is a mobile app designed to preserve the physical objects that carry our memories.
While most memory apps are built around photos, KEEPS is built around everything else.
Concert tickets, boarding passes, receipts, handwritten notes, invitations, conference badges, and other small objects that people often keep long after their practical purpose has ended.
The idea came from a simple observation: many of us keep these items because they represent experiences, relationships, milestones, and moments we donāt want to forget. Over time, they become scattered across drawers, wallets, books, and boxes, making them difficult to revisit and easy to lose.
KEEPS transforms these physical keepsakes into digital artifacts.
Users can scan real objects, remove backgrounds, add contextual information such as location, date, people, and personal notes, and organize them into custom collections. Artifacts can also be created from templates, allowing users to recreate memories that no longer exist physically.
The prototype includes onboarding, collections, artifact detail pages, discovery flows, creation flows, profile experiences, and a connected navigation system that allows users to move through their archive naturally.
Rather than generating the entire product in a single prompt, I used Flowstep as a design engineering tool.
I started with a visual direction created in Figma, including custom illustrations, typography, layout systems, and the overall structure.
From there, I rebuilt the product inside Flowstep screen by screen, using detailed prompts to define hierarchy, spacing, interactions, navigation patterns, and user flows.
Each screen became the foundation for the next. Existing components were reused, refined, and expanded to create a cohesive design system across the entire application. The process was highly iterative: generating, reviewing, refining, and rebuilding until the product felt consistent both visually and functionally.
The result is not simply a collection of screens, but a connected prototype with clear user journeys, interaction logic, and product intent.
KEEPS is built around a simple belief:
The smallest objects often carry the biggest memories.

The walkthrough, screen recording of the prototype working in Flowstep, my custom illustrations, and the screens designed in Flowstep are included below.
Love this!
I was so stoked to collaborate with Siobhan on the Good Soup Studio website. Her designs are so bright, bold, and funāthe perfect jumping off point for my motion design. check it out at goodsoupstudio.com
Building motion off someone else's static system is a genuinely different skill than starting from scratch, you're translating intent rather than inventing your own. Was there a moment her designs suggested a motion idea you wouldn't have landed on by yourself?
Your website might be losing customers before they even scroll.
Most visitors decide whether to stay or leave in just a few seconds.
Here are 5 common mistakes I see on business websites:
ā No clear headline explaining what the business does
ā Too many call-to-action buttons competing for attention
ā Slow loading pages that increase bounce rates
ā Walls of text instead of clear, scannable content
ā No social proof like testimonials, reviews, or client logos
A high-performing website isn't about having the most animations or the fanciest design.
It's about helping visitors find what they need quickly and making it easy to take the next step.
When I design websites, my goal is simple:
ā Build trust
ā Reduce friction
ā Guide users toward action
Sometimes the smallest design improvements create the biggest business impact.
What's the first thing you notice when you land on a website?
