- After loved ones pass away,
Some people live in your phone. In a voicemail you haven't deleted. In the way they texted - always with a typo, always with love.
I built something for them.
✦ Heirloom ✦
A place where you keep the people you carry with you. Not an app. Not a memorial. Just somewhere quiet to put what you still have of them.
You add their name.
You bring what you have - a photo, a voice note, a screenshot.
Heirloom does the rest. Their words come back to you. A different memory every time you open it.
Private. Yours. Always there. Grief doesn’t ask for much. Just somewhere to put it where they still feel close.
The copy does the heavy lifting here. "Not an app. Not a memorial." sets the tone immediately and makes it feel genuinely different from anything I've seen in this space. The private-by-default framing is the right call for something this personal.
Memory Bank is a private family app designed to capture the small moments that usually get lost.
We take thousands of photos every year, but the little things often disappear: a note before a test, a flower picked on the way home from school, a funny photo of the family cat, or a simple “good luck” message from a parent.
Memory Bank gives families a shared space where they can add photos, notes, and emojis throughout the day. These contributions form a collaborative daily memory that lives on the home screen as a widget.
At midnight, the day’s memory is automatically captured as a Polaroid and saved to a family archive. Over time, families build a collection of memories together, one day at a time.
For this project, I wanted to experiment with a different design workflow.
Instead of starting in Figma, I used Codex and the Build-iOS-App workflow to generate a working Swift prototype first. My goal was to validate the interaction and product flow before investing time in visual design.
Once the concept felt promising, I used Figma MCP to bring the app screens into Figma, where I explored different visual directions, refined the user experience, and iterated on the overall concept.
I then used Figma Make to prototype key interactions and validate the experience before bringing those improvements back into the app.
Finally, I created the launch trailer and supporting assets using Hyperframes, Codex, and Figma MCP, allowing me to iterate on both the visual design and the story as the concept evolved.
The result was a workflow that felt much more fluid than the traditional path of Idea → Design → Prototype → Build.
Instead, the project evolved through a continuous loop of Idea → Prototype → Figma → Prototype → Launch.
Memory Bank started as a Makeathon experiment, but quickly became something I genuinely want to build for my own family.
Recently published a small side project called Shutterwave.
A photography portfolio template focused on clean layouts, large imagery, and a simple browsing experience that keeps attention on the work itself.
Built with CMS-powered projects, responsive layouts, and a few subtle interactions throughout.
Always interested in hearing feedback from other designers and creators.
