Taste Test
Same data, two different ways to experience it 🤔
I explored two patient list layouts for a mental health platform: a card view and a table view.
Cards feel more visual and personal, but space is limited and adding more information can quickly make them crowded. For complex enterprise products, I often find tables more practical — they’re easier to scan, compare, sort, and can support more columns when users need greater visibility.
For this kind of workflow, I’m leaning toward the table view. Which would you choose — cards or table?

I feel... B is easier to scan
Thanks, Anna. You're right that it's ultimately a task call, and framing it that way cuts through most of the card-vs-table noise. Good to see another product designer thinking about scan-speed the same way.
Good work
B looks clean and have more details, I'd go with B unless you want to look for person through face
Yess, You're welcome
For clinicians going through lots of patients I'd lean table. Maybe a quick toggle to cards for a more personal view?
B is easer to read as well as it requires less scrolling compared to A.
i prefer B
table for me, cards get cramped fast
table for me, staff scan lists all day
Really tidy card layouts
For a mental-health patient list the choice isn't really card vs table — it's scan-speed vs context. The card wins the first meeting because the photo and name set the clinician's mental model before they touch the row, but the table is what holds up under the daily rhythm of...
Thanks, Anna — happy it resonated. That task-oriented hybrid really is the sweet spot for clinical workflows.
i will go with Table here
Thanks, Anna - and agreed on the hybrid read. The task-oriented framing is what keeps the system honest once real patient volume hits the list. Fun comparison to look at.

1 line (headline + body text) or 2 lines? Wider or narrower?
It's easier for me to read 2 lines.

second one
What if one of the most meaningful messages you ever receive… is written by a version of you that no longer exists?
That question became Dear Future my submission for the #Base44Challenge.
We save photos.
We save messages.
We save memories.
But we rarely preserve who we were in that exact moment what we were thinking, hoping for, afraid of, or becoming.
So I designed a digital time capsule where your words don’t just get stored.
They wait for you.
With Dear Future, you can:
✦ Write a letter to your future self or someone else
✦ Add memories and images
✦ Choose the exact future date it should return
✦ Personalize your capsule with colours and seals
✦ Seal it so it can’t be read or edited before its opening date
✦ Watch the countdown inside your personal archive
✦ Return later and experience the letter as something preserved not just another notification
But the biggest design challenge wasn’t creating a way to send a letter later.
It was designing the wait.
As a Senior Product & UI/UX Designer, I wanted every interaction to support that idea.
The archive.
The physical capsule metaphor.
The vintage television.
The sealing ritual.
The countdown.
The responsive mobile experience.
None of them are there just for decoration. Together, they turn anticipation into part of the product.
I designed the UX, visual system, interaction language, responsive experience, storytelling, and complete product flow then built and shipped the working experience with @Base44.
This project reminded me why I love product design:
A good interface helps someone complete a task.
A meaningful experience makes them feel something while doing it.
Dear Future Words outlive the moment.
