Day 1 of building in public.
I’m a beginner UI/UX designer and I started this series to actually get better, not just watch tutorials, but build real things in public and learn in the open.
Today: designed a tracklist UI card for a vinyl record shop app.
Honestly? Being a UI/UX designer in 2026 is harder than people think. It’s not just design anymore, you’re expected to edit video, build a brand, post content. So here I am teaching myself editing too. This is literally my first edit ever.
Still figuring a lot out, color and typography are my biggest pain points right now. But that’s the whole point of this. Build, post, improve, repeat.
Follow me and join my journey!
Keep up the momentum.

BABBU
Every toddler invents their own language. Babbu is my daughter Matilda's word for ball. By the time she says it correctly, I'll have already forgotten how it sounded.
Babbu is a private dictionary for the words only your child says, the mispronunciations, the invented names, the sounds that make sense to no one but you. No social features. No accounts. Just a growing archive of a specific, unrepeatable moment in your child's life.
Try it here: https://adobe-slush-93538397.figma.site
✨ What it does
- Add a word as your child says it, plus what it actually means
- Record their voice directly in the app
- Automatically matches an illustration to the word's meaning, translating it from any language
- Colour-code each card
- Search your collection
- Share a snapshot of the full dictionary with family as a single link
🛠️ Built with
