🫧📒 Digital Journal for Self-Reflection ✨
[ PROBLEM ]
In a busy world filled with work, responsibilities, and constant distractions, many people lose touch with their emotions, needs, and personal goals
While journaling can improve self-awareness and well-being, traditional journals are not always practical to use every day
[ SOLUTION ]
I created Digital Journal that makes self-reflection simple and accessible
The app helps users:
💎 Track mood and energy
💎 Reflect on daily experiences
💎 Practice gratitude
💎 Capture thoughts, memories, and dreams
💎 Build greater self-awareness over time
The goal was to combine the convenience of digital tools with the warmth of a scrapbook-style journal
[ TOOLS TESTED ]
During the Makeathon, I explored and tested:
✔️Claude + Figma MCP for generating initial wireframes
✔️Figma AI Agent for early concept exploration and wireframing
✔️Figma for core pages visual design
✔️Figma Make for building and testing the interactive prototype

It's so cool how you’ve framed this around emotional sustainability. In a tech landscape that often focuses purely on productivity and efficiency, a tool that intentionally carves out space for mood, gratitude, and dreams feels both refreshing and...
Thank you for such a warm review! 🌿 The journal was actually the most challenging part of the whole project, so I’m really happy to hear it feels natural and enjoyable to use.

I checked out the app and really enjoyed it. The scrapbook-style approach gives it a much more personal feel than most journaling apps, and I like that the focus is on reflection rather than productivity. Feels like something people could actually stick with long term. Good luck in the competition!
Thank you, love ❤️ Your feedback means the world to me. And thank you for always supporting me and all of my crazy ideas — somehow you never seem surprised by them anymore 😄✨
heeey Diana, today I had more time so I tryed this amaizing notebook, great job, I already filled out 2 days in a raw and I see that I really can use it on a daily basis👍
Aaaah, this made me so happy to read! 🥹 The fact that you’ve already used it for two days in a row is honestly the best feedback I could ask for. Thank you for giving it a try, and I can’t wait to see your journal pages! 🌷
Hi, Diana. I’m constantly thinking about your project because I’m in a chat group with some friends where we keep each other updated on how we’re filling out three pages a day to clear our heads. I just wanted to say that you’ve created a really valuable product 👍 I’m using it now, too.
Wow, thank you for sharing this 💛 Knowing that my project keeps popping into your mind and has become part of your routine honestly means so much to me. I love that you already have a journaling practice and that this notebook has found a place in it. Wishing you many meaningful pages ahead 🌿

For the #ConfigMakeathon, I created Book Trace. It is a reading journal app that helps you capture thoughts while you read, and leave a personal trace when you finish.
[Concept]
Book Trace turns the experience of reading into something you can hold onto. Instead of forgetting what a book meant to you, you leave a Trace — one sentence, one emotion, one word. The app also reads what you wrote and tells you what kind of reader you are, with book recommendations matched to your type and genre.
[Project Overview]
For this submission, I designed:
- Onboarding flow;
- Still Reading experience with in-the-moment note capture;
- Finished flow with the full Trace journey;
- Reader Identity system with personalized recommendations;
- Library with saved traces;
- UI Kit and design system.
[Workflow]
I built the full product from concept to prototype in Figma. UI Kit, component library, and interactive flows all in one file.
[My Experience]
What I loved most about this challenge was how it pushed me to think about the full user journey, not just screens, but emotions. Book Trace started as a simple idea and grew into something that feels genuinely personal.
Figma made it possible to move from rough concept to polished prototype without ever leaving the workspace.
Thank you to the Figma team for a challenge that made me build something I actually want to use!

Amazing!
I built Interactive Earth History Explorer for the Config Makeathon.
Interactive Earth History Explorer
The web app allows users to travel through Earth's history by scrolling through a timeline and interacting with a 3D globe. Users can explore:
Geological eras and major Earth events
The evolution of life on Earth
Ancient civilizations and historical milestones
Important locations associated with historical events
Multimedia content such as images, animations, and descriptions
—————————
Target Users
Students and educators
History enthusiasts
Parents looking for interactive learning tools
—————————
Traditional methods of learning history and geology are often:
Text-heavy and difficult to visualize
Presented as static timelines that lack interactivity
Disconnected from geographical context
——————————
Solution
The web application provides an immersive and interactive learning experience by combining:
🌍 Interactive 3D Globe, 📅 Scrollable Timeline, 🖼 Rich Content Cards, ✨ Immersive Storytelling
————————
My process: Pen and paper → Figma make → Using Figma make to generate ideas → Prompting it out as perfectly as I can get it to work → Connected to Figma server → Deployed
