When clients tell me they want to launch an online course, the first thing I ask is: What does your community look like right now?
Because the real question isn’t can you build it—it’s whether anyone is already there to receive it.

Community Pulse — Visualizing Conversation Energy
Built for the #FigmaMakeathon challenge 😊.
Community Pulse is an experimental interactive prototype that transforms discussion activity into visible momentum.
Instead of static threads, engagement becomes dynamic:
cards reorder based on simulated activity, avatars gravitate toward conversations, and collaboration energy adapts through a Calm / Playful mood toggle.
The project explores how motion, behavior, and social signals can make digital communities feel alive...not just function al.

Collective Pulse is a minimal emotional check-in tool that allows users to express their feelings on a shared canvas, fostering community connection and emotional awareness. No text. No followers. No algorithm. Just a gesture.
After you place your dot, you sit alone with your feeling for a moment. Then the community appears — and you realize you're never as alone in a feeling as the internet makes you think.
The collective field becomes a living map of human emotion. Real-time. Anonymous. Profoundly human.
Inspired by Figma's "Software is Culture" — and my entry to the Figma Make-a-thon 2026.
With everything happening right now — how do you feel?

The digital used to be our escape, but now we find ourselves longing for a return to human connection. Mental health has never been so critical to the culture we've created.
The concept: no matter where you are or what you're dealing with, find and offer support between strangers through words of hope and encouragement.
Every letter leaves a flower in its wake.
Through our gardens may we learn to bloom again.
