Hey everyone
👋 I’m Henry, a Product designer and FlutterFlow developer from Nigeria
I help early stage teams turn ideas into digital products across eCommerce, CRO, wellness, SaaS, fintech, etc. I focus on crafting intuitive experiences people enjoy using, while helping startups gain traction and grow their audience.
My favorite tools are Figma, FlutterFlow, and Shopify, they help me design and build fast without losing quality.
When I’m not designing or coding, you’ll find me in the kitchen experimenting like a mad scientist, sometimes edible, sometimes… not so much.
Can’t wait to connect, team up, and make cool stuff together 😄

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.

Would you write something for yourself five years from now?
Designed a booking screen for a concept pilates studio app, then gave GPT Image 2.5 just that one screenshot.
Two launch shots came back. Which one makes you want to book a class, A or B?

I saw the Base44 challenge and thought: what if I built an actual app?
I've built plenty of websites, and my workflow there is pretty well established. But building an app entirely on my own, as a designer? I've never done anything even close to that. So naturally, I wanted to try.
And I already had an idea I'd been putting off for a while.
About a year and a half ago, I became a mom, and one of the things that drove me absolutely crazy was introducing solids. The information was scattered across dozens of sources, recommendations were confusing, and I ended up putting together my own plan piece by piece. And then trying to keep all of it in my head. Not exactly what you need when you're already sleep-deprived.
That's where the idea for Tastimi, a gentle guide to your baby's first foods, came from.
So I got to work. Designed the screens, created the logo, thought through the user flows, and got a little carried away, as usual.
Then I looked at the calendar and realized that even with AI assistants and all their superpowers, building an entire native app in a few days was a bit too ambitious.
Well, what do we do when there's not enough time?
🚀 MVP, of course.
I already had the designs, so I decided to turn them into an interactive website using Base44. Something that could introduce the product, give parents actual value, and help me test the idea before investing months into development.
So here's what I managed to build:
1. Design: Custom branding, illustrations, real app screens, and a fully responsive, mobile-first website. Everything is based on my original app designs.
2. Automatic language detection: The website opens in English or French depending on the visitor's browser settings, with a manual language switch.
3. Interactive quiz: Parents select their baby's age and get a personalized starting-solids plan with food suggestions, practical tips, and things to avoid. The recommendations are curated, not AI-generated. I love AI, but I'd rather not let it improvise when it comes to feeding babies.
4. Waitlist and lead capture: Since the app isn't available yet, visitors can leave their email instead of clicking a download button that leads nowhere. The idea is to start building an audience before the actual launch.
5. Behind the scenes: I've also been working on the signup flow and automation logic, including personalized follow-ups and collecting insights about potential users. Some parts are still a work in progress, but the foundation is there.
I did hit a few limitations with my current Base44 plan, so there's still some setup to finish. But given the deadline, I decided to focus on getting the MVP live and leave the polishing for later.
The business logic is pretty simple: instead of spending months building an app based entirely on my assumptions, I can start validating demand now. Parents get something useful through the quiz, and I get a chance to understand what to build first.
Is it the native app I originally wanted to submit? No. Is everything finished? Also no. But it's a working MVP, and honestly, I'm pretty happy with how much I managed to get done.
So here I am, jumping into the Base44 challenge literally in its last hours. Better late than never, I guess 😅

Would love to hear what you think!
