Kids don’t defeat fear by reading advice.

They understand it better when they can see it, shape it, shrink it, rename it, and laugh at it.

That’s the idea behind Monster Movie Studio — a cinematic interactive cartoon experience where children turn big fears into funny little animated monsters.

Instead of building another dashboard or basic kids app, I wanted this to feel like a playable cartoon episode.

A child can:

→ create a clay-like 3D monster → choose what made the monster feel big → drag magical tools onto it → direct a tiny cartoon scene → shrink the scary shadow → turn a roar into music → make the monster dance → transform it into a tiny helper → print a movie poster → share a gentle parent note

The whole experience is designed around one principle:

Every action should speak.

Not just buttons. Not static cards. Not a form with cute colors.

A tap should change the scene. A drag should transform the monster. A completed action should feel cinematic. A child should feel like they are directing a tiny animated movie.

Monster Movie Studio — turn big fears into funny little cartoons.

Love how visual this feels. Not a normal app, more like an interactive animated experience.

Hey everyone!

I made OVERTIME 🌙 a living map of how the world really sleeps.

The problem / the idea We celebrate the 5am club. We rarely see the others; the night-shift nurse, the new parent awake at 3am, the insomniac watching the ceiling, and the guard who clocks out at sunrise. I built this for the lyrics inspiration "8 billion people are 8 billion lamps in the night."

What it is A quiet, generative map of a single day. Each glowing light is one real person's rhythm, when they sleep, move, eat, and how stressed they are. Data visualization is drawn from ~1,200 lives across 9 regions of the world, gathered into one symbolic city. Add your own rhythm and watch your light fly into the crowd. Toggle Weekday vs Weekend and the whole sky shifts. You find your people, you find night owls, early risers, and the sleepless. No scores, no "good" or "bad" sleep. Just where you land, among a thousand others. Whether you sleep late or barely sleep at all, the message is one: you're not alone in the dark, so please take care of yourself. 💛

How I built it (workflow + tools) Designed in Figma and built entirely in Figma Make. The community isn't random noise; it's a research-calibrated dataset modeled as a mixture of real human archetypes (night owls, night-shift workers, the sleepless, early birds, long sleepers), so the field is genuinely human: people asleep at 6am, people with 3 hours of sleep, people who barely move. A generative particle engine renders every life as its own light, so no two nights look alike.
