Cumulus is a small space for noticing. Most digital products are designed to help us move faster, do more, and stay productive. Cumulus explores the opposite idea. It creates a moment of pause instead of asking for more attention. Inspired by the simple act of watching clouds, Cumulus invites people to slow down, look up, and let their minds wander.
Users are shown a photograph of a cloud and asked one simple question: What do you see? They share their interpretation and discover how other people perceived the very same image. There are no accounts, no feeds, no scores, and no streaks to maintain. Just a quiet moment of imagination shared with strangers. We spend much of our time solving, deciding, and responding. Cumulus is designed for the opposite kind of moment. It offers a small creative pause when attention feels fragmented and the mind needs a reset. It is a chance to look up and put a name to something that does not need one.
The experience is built around a curated collection of cloud photographs selected for their ambiguity and imaginative potential. Cumulus was designed entirely in Figma and prototyped with Figma Make. The interface combines responsive layouts, atmospheric transitions, blurred modal overlays, and a custom WebGL shader background that simulates slowly drifting cloud formations. Cumulus is an experiment in designing for imagination and using technology to create space for creativity rather than productivity.

Wonderful

MindMirror
Millions of people are expected to design a future they cannot see.
We choose careers, make life-changing decisions, and abandon dreams while carrying one question in our minds:
"What if I fail?"
The people who need guidance most often have the least access to it. Career counselling is expensive. Professional networks are limited. Many young people are left to figure everything out alone.
We built MindMirror to change that.
MindMirror is a product that helps people meet a possible version of their future selves; before becoming them.
Users choose a dream career, answer five questions about who they are right now, and instantly receive a personalized future; a specific name, city, role, year, income, life score, success probability, and four milestones on the path between today and that moment.
They can then chat with their future self, explore alternative life paths, and see in real time how today's decisions change tomorrow's outcomes.
We built a reflection layer inspired by six evidence-based psychological approaches; CBT, Narrative Therapy, Person-Centred, Solution-Focused, Gestalt, and Psychodynamic; to help users identify thought patterns, reframe self-doubt, and take one small step forward.
Not therapy. A mirror that turns uncertainty into action.
We built MindMirror for first-generation students, young professionals, and anyone who has ever felt intimidated by the future.
The most powerful moment in the product is simple.
A user reads a message from their future self:
"The third rejection is where most people stop."
"You didn't."
Then they pause.
That silence is the product working.
Because the future stops feeling like something that happens to other people.
It becomes something they can build.
How we built it
We started in FigJam; mapping the full emotional user journey, 16 career world systems, and the psychological reflection architecture before writing a single prompt.
In Figma Make, we loaded our complete design system first; every color, every typeface, every spacing rule, every career theme variable, so every generated screen matched the vision from the first prompt. That one step eliminated hours of rework.
Each career world has its own animated background universe. The AI layer runs on Claude API when a user types their goal, real AI generates their specific future in real time. Not demo content. Not placeholders. Their actual future, personalised to their words.
MindMirror was built in ten days using FigJam, Figma Make, and Claude API.
Not because the problem was small.
Because the problem was urgent.
