Day 4 of my personal journal posting challenge 🌿
One thing I’ve learned while building this project is that journaling doesn’t have to look the same for everyone.
Some people practice gratitude and focus on the good things that happened today. Others use expressive journaling to untangle emotions, reflective journaling to process experiences, or morning pages to clear their minds before the day begins.
You can try journaling and support my project here:

Thank you for following along and sharing your own journal moments with me 💙
Amazing! I love to check your filled pages everyday 😍
Thank youuuuuu!!!✨
You are doing sooo good 🎉 😍 🙌
Thank a lot Olexanrda! 😍
🌿🔥❤️
This reminds me that good tools don't force everyone into the same process.
Whether it's journaling, learning, or even product design, flexibility often matters more than having a single "best" method. ✨

This single feature just changed my entire design workflow forever ✨
Excited to submit "soundchecksf" a new and organic way to discovery live music.

Community file: https://www.figma.com/community/file/1647490463683801916
Why this idea...I believe discovering new music these days is far too algorithmic. That said, taking a chance on seeing a live band you've never heard of has its own issues too. So I thought, what if I could build an experience that would simulate what it is like walking through an area only to hear a sound that pulls you in and creates a memory forever? This was very much inspired by what happened to me a few years back.
Enter...soundchecksf where you can take a stroll through a neighborhood and hear ACTUAL live music that's coming to a place near you! This updates every night 4amPST so you're bound to discover a new sound every time you come back.
How I built this...started with basically pen and paper (aka an app and Apple pen) quickly followed by planning and building a prototype with Claude. Then I used Figma Weave to build some assets and went into Figma Make to build key parts of this experience, one-by-one. After multiple rounds of polishing the UX, UI, the mobile experience, and ensuring I had accurate and functioning backend support...what has come out of all of this is something I'm proud to share.
Let me know what you think and wishing best of luck to all the other participants!
P.s For feasibility, UX, and credit reasons, I had to limit this to a few venues throughout certain neighborhoods in the Bay Area. Also, the artwork is loosely inspired by the place it's respresenting. I can't wait to build this out more, add more polish and yes, more cities!
Impressive
CreatorSetup
Helping content creators achieve professional results with the gear they already own.
Content creation has never been more accessible. Every day, creators invest in cameras, tripods, microphones, lights, gimbals, and other equipment to improve their content.
However, owning equipment doesn't automatically translate into great results.
Most creators struggle with questions like:
Where should I place my lights?
What camera angle works best for my space?
How should I position my equipment?
What kind of outcome can I realistically achieve with the gear I already have?
Current solutions often rely on generic tutorials that fail to account for individual environments, available equipment, and content goals.
The Problem
Creators spend hours experimenting with setups, watching tutorials, and rearranging equipment before finding something that works. This creates a significant barrier for beginners and slows down the creative process.
The Solution
CreatorSetup is an AI-powered setup planning experience that helps creators generate personalized content creation setups based on:
Their content type
Their workspace
Their available equipment
Their desired outcome
Users select their content category, define or upload their workspace, choose the equipment they already own, and receive a customized setup recommendation showing how to position equipment and what results they can expect.
The goal is not to recommend more purchases.
The goal is to help creators maximize the equipment they already have and achieve professional-looking results regardless of their experience level.
Built with Figma Make & Figma Weave
This project was created using Figma's latest ecosystem of tools.
Figma Make was used to rapidly transform ideas into an interactive product experience, allowing me to design, prototype, iterate, and refine the complete user journey from onboarding to setup generation.
Figma Weave was used to create and generate visual assets, helping bring the product experience to life through high-quality imagery and creative exploration. These assets were integrated throughout the experience to better communicate setup recommendations and expected outcomes.
The workflow included:
Problem discovery and solution framing
User flow design
Interactive prototyping with Figma Make
Visual asset generation with Figma Weave
Recommendation system design
Experience refinement and iteration
By combining Make and Weave, I was able to move from concept to working prototype while maintaining a cohesive visual experience.
Impact
CreatorSetup lowers the barrier to entry for content creation by giving creators practical, personalized guidance instead of generic advice.
By removing the guesswork from equipment placement and setup planning, creators can spend less time troubleshooting and more time creating.
