Luma — A cozy self-care app for tiny rituals, emotional consistency, and chronic wellness routines
Luma is a mobile-first self-care companion designed for people navigating PCOS, insulin resistance, and long-term hormonal wellness routines.
The idea started from a simple question:
What if health tracking didn’t feel like punishment?
Most wellness apps focus on numbers, calories, weight, perfect streaks, or rigid routines. But for people managing chronic symptoms, fatigue, mood changes, medication, supplements, and emotional burnout, consistency rarely looks perfect.
Luma turns care into something softer.
Inside the app, users enter a cozy ghost room and complete one tiny care ritual at a time: checking in, taking supplements, journaling, doing a soft reset, or following a small routine. Instead of guilt or pressure, progress becomes visible through personal constellations, collectible cards, and room transformations.
The main character, Luma, looks like a tiny ghost — but the lore reveals she is actually a magical flower wearing a blanket who thinks she is haunting her own healing journey. This keeps the experience playful, symbolic, and emotionally safe.
Core features include:
✦ Ghost Room
A cozy daily home where the user returns to care for themselves and their space.
✦ Tiny Care Rituals
Small, achievable actions that reduce pressure and support consistency.
✦ Supplements & Routine Tracking
A soft way to remember care tasks without shame or punishment.
✦ Soft Reset
A one-minute emotional reset with breathing, grounding, and gentle movement.
✦ Journal
A private space to write symptoms, feelings, reflections, or tiny wins.
✦ Monthly Constellation
A visual progress system where daily actions become stars, turning personal care into a sky.
✦ Collectible Cards
Digital cards earned through care rituals. Some cards change the room’s atmosphere, unlock rare moments, or reveal fragments of Luma’s hidden lore.
My design goal was to create an app that feels emotionally safe, visually memorable, and useful without becoming clinical or overwhelming.
I built the project using Figma Make, Figma Design, Figma Weave, AI-assisted workflows, and manual illustration exploration. I started with moodboards and prompt references, but when AI didn’t fully capture the style I had in mind, I developed the illustration direction manually to create a softer, craftier, more unique visual language.
This project explores how AI tools can support product design while still preserving human taste, emotional nuance, and visual storytelling.
Luma is not a medical app and does not replace professional healthcare. It is a self-care companion designed to make daily routines feel more gentle, personal, and possible.
Pitch:
Luma helps people with chronic hormonal wellness routines turn tiny acts of care into a cozy world of progress, without guilt, pressure, or perfection.

Pip is a zero-friction health companion built to turn tracking your health (SYMPTOMS, DIET AND MORE) into clinical clarity. It abandons rigid 0–10 numeric scales and replaces them with a compassionate, glanceable interface.
❤ Why It Was Built
Pip was born out of pure personal necessity. I built it because it was something I desperately needed, and something a few close friends and someone incredibly close to my heart needed too. I wanted to strip away the clinical coldness of modern software and create something beautifully simple that could be truly, deeply helpful on someone's hardest days
⚠️ The Problem
Traditional health apps suffer from "Data Collection Theater." They force users suffering from chronic illness or fatigue to rate dozens of variables daily, causing severe decision fatigue.
Worse, they act as data sinks, dumping raw, chaotic charts onto doctors. In a high-stakes, 15-minute medical consultation, physicians don't have the time to audit raw logs. They need high-yield, synthesized clinical signals, not noise. Pip bridges this gap by assuming "bad days are the default," capturing symptoms effortlessly, and compiling them into a clean, one-page summary sheet.
🛠 The Figma Workflow Pipeline
To bring Pip to life, I leveraged the Figma ecosystem:
Figma Weave: Used to iterate and generate the visual asset layers for Pip’s mascot.
Figma Agent: Brainstormed layouts directly on the canvas, instantly pairing elegant fonts and organizing simple, stress-free forms.
Figma Make: Instantly turned those canvas designs and components into a live, fully working, and responsive web application while allowing rapid iteration.
I built Echo Cord for my mother.
After being diagnosed with early-onset dementia, everyday routines became harder to navigate. Medications. Appointments. Even simple daily tasks.
But one thing never changed.
She still wanted to maintain her independence.
Echo Cord is a caregiving companion designed to help families communicate routines, medications, appointments, and daily tasks through simple visual Echoes. Each Echo is delivered as a single focused task, reducing complexity while providing reassurance for both loved ones and caregivers.
Built for the Config Makeathon, Echo Cord was designed and prototyped in Figma using Figma Make and Figma Design Agent. The workflow focused on exploring caregiver and patient experiences, refining accessibility-first interactions, and designing for clarity, simplicity, and confidence.
While inspired by dementia care, Echo Cord was designed with broader applications in mind, including memory support, cognitive recovery, traumatic brain injury recovery, and other caregiving scenarios where clear communication matters.
Back Story:
Echo Cord is deeply personal to me and, at times, difficult.
Throughout the design process, I found myself thinking about my mother constantly. Every screen, interaction, and word was shaped by a simple question:
"Would this make things easier for Mom?"
What began as a design challenge quickly became something much more meaningful. This project is my way of turning a deeply personal experience into something that might help other families facing similar challenges.

Love the visual direction here. The attention to detail really stands out.
Digital assets often feel rigid and impersonal. The goal with Stamp & Seal Maker was to bring the tactile, premium feel of traditional, old-world correspondence into a modern digital workflow. I wanted to design an experience that feels less like a basic web tool and more like an artisanal studio where users can create something deeply personal.
What it Does and How to Use It
The app is a live, web-based utility that lets users design custom marks in under a minute with zero friction no accounts or sign-ups required. It offers two distinct tracks:
Antique Postage Stamps: Users can upload an image or portrait, add a digital signature, and instantly generate a vintage stamp complete with realistic perforated edges.
Custom Wax Seals: Users can pick a wax color and literally use their cursor to draw their own monogram, which renders into a realistic wax seal for digital letters.
Everything can be downloaded instantly as a high-quality, transparent PNG to use anywhere.
The Tools Used
To take this project from a concept to a functional, browser-ready site for the Figma Makeathon, I utilized three core parts of the ecosystem: Figma Design, Figma Weave and Figma Make
You can interact with the live tool and create your own handcrafted mark using the link below. https://trunk-tint-40276432.figma.site
The wax seal track where you draw your own monogram with a cursor is a really clever idea. That kind of tactile interaction in a browser tool is hard to pull off without feeling gimmicky.
