I wanted to share a little bit about the emotional side of making this project, because we talk a lot about learning new tools, challenging ourselves, and building cool things, but not so much about how scary it can be to share your first attempts at something new🥹🤍
Especially when you're a perfectionist and then it's basically a personal hell 😅
I joined the challenge with less than 3 days left until the submission deadline. So, naturally, I decided that was the perfect time to try a completely new tool, build an entire project, and obsess over every tiny detail🥲
I kept finding new things to fix, coming up with more features to add, and convincing myself that everything needed another round of polishing. There's always something else you could improve, right?
Honestly, the deadline was probably the only thing that saved me from tweaking this project forever. At some point, you have to stop overthinking and actually ship it.
I literally found myself wide awake at 3 AM, checking the same button for the fifth time to make sure that bug was finally gone. And then checking it again, just in case 🫠
It was challenging, exhausting, and definitely not a smooth ride, but I learned SO much along the way.
And even though I can already think of a hundred things I'd love to improve, I'm proud of myself for taking the leap, figuring things out as I went, and actually putting my work out there.
So, I'm actually really really proud of myself for pulling it out!
Would love to hear from anyone who's been through that same "it's never quite finished, but I have to let it go" phase. Please tell me I'm not the only one! 🥹
(cooking a reel about the process)
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.
Denty — From Consultation to Signed Consent. Built with Base44.
For this #Base44Challenge, I wanted to showcase something beyond a landing page or a beautiful prototype.
A real product. Solving a real problem.
Meet Denty, an AI-powered dental platform designed to simplify clinical documentation and patient consent workflows.
Here's what makes it different.
Instead of manually preparing everything after a consultation, a dentist can upload a transcript and let AI extract the relevant patient information.
The clinician remains in control, reviewing and editing the extracted details before preparing documents.
From there, Denty supports treatment planning, consent form generation, clinical document management, secure signature requests, and downloadable signed PDFs.
It also supports multi-clinic operations, team management, and activity tracking.
Why Base44?
I wanted to move quickly without compromising the product experience.
Base44 helped with application development, data integration, and AI features. But building a usable product required much more than prompts: thoughtful UX, careful design, testing, debugging, and repeated improvements.
Why a 6-minute video instead of 30 seconds?
Because I wanted to demonstrate the product rather than simply show it.
30 seconds can introduce an idea. It cannot meaningfully demonstrate every step of a workflow like this.
In the full recording, you'll see Denty create structured information from a consultation, generate documents, send a signature request, and demonstrate the patient signing process.
This is a functional product, developed for a real-world use case, shared with my client's approval.
