Breathverse: Aqua Ring
A childhood toy, rebuilt at planetary scale.
Breathverse reimagines the nostalgic handheld water ring-toss game as a cosmic, microphone-controlled experience. Players select a left or right air jet, then exhale into their microphone to propel floating rings toward celestial targets. Each captured ring transforms into a glowing planetary orbit, gradually building a small solar system through breath.
The hidden objective was to make controlled breathing feel playful rather than instructional. Instead of presenting another meditation timer or wellness dashboard, Breathverse disguises a breath-led pause inside a familiar childhood interaction.

I used Figma Agent to translate visual references into the interface and establish the archival, sepia-toned cosmic world. I then used Figma Make to build the microphone detection, directional air jets, floating-ring physics, target capture, scoring, and responsive gameplay.
How it works
Allow microphone access.
Select the left or right air jet.
Exhale gently to propel the rings.
Switch sides to correct their trajectory.
Capture rings around celestial targets to form orbits.
Breathverse transforms a physical toy mechanic into an embodied digital experience, using breath not as a button, but as the actual force that brings the world to life.

Did you know your home reflects how much you read?
Not a metaphor. A literal one.
Add a book. Set a timer. Watch your apartment slowly come alive as you read. Dust clears in real time. Rooms bloom from neglect to warmth. Stop reading and watch it all fade back.
The Problem
Most reading trackers are lists. Cold. Forgettable. They record what you have not done without making you feel anything about it. You open the app, see a number, close the app. Nothing changes inside you.
Shelf Life is built around a different belief. Your habits should live somewhere. They should breathe. They should have consequences you can see.
Your bedroom holds the book you read before sleep. Your kitchen holds the article you meant to finish over coffee. Your study holds the essay you keep putting off. Read consistently and each space blooms back to life through an organic dust clearing animation driven by your actual reading time. Neglect your reading and the dust returns. Your home becomes a mirror of your habits. Honest and quiet and impossible to ignore.
I deliberately chose not to let users upload or read books inside the app. The moment you can read inside a tracker it stops being a tracker and starts competing with the experience of actually holding a book. Shelf Life honours the ritual of reading without replacing it.
How It Was Built
I started with a design philosophy before I started with a prompt. Warmth. Craft. Human first. Every decision was made to make the user feel something not just complete a task.
The isometric apartment and all ten room images including the neglected and bloomed states for each of the five rooms were generated entirely using Figma Weave. I used Figma for rapid design ideation and layout exploration before moving into Figma Make.
In Figma Make I built the full app in React and TypeScript. The core technical challenge was the dust clearing animation. It uses an SVG mask system with organic circular spots growing via requestAnimationFrame running in parallel with the reading timer. Each spot has its own delay and duration so the reveal feels natural and alive rather than mechanical. The same spots reverse in mirror order when the room returns to neglected. The animation runs both ways. Forward when you read. Backward when you stop.
Room specific ambient music plays in each space. The bedroom has soft rain and piano. The kitchen has morning acoustic warmth. The living room has fireplace crackle. The study is near silence. Each room sounds like it feels.

The Moment That Matters
Start a reading timer. Watch your room slowly clean itself in real time. Organic dust spots grow across the image revealing the bloomed version beneath. It is not a progress bar. It is not a percentage. It is your home breathing back to life because you chose to read.
When the timer ends the room holds its bloomed state then gradually returns to neglect. The direction of the animation tells you everything about your relationship with reading that week.
Most people go quiet when they watch it happen for the first time.
Excellent presentation 👏
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.
Built with Figma Make for the Config Makeathon.
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.
You know that feeling when it's 3am and you have so much going on in your head but nowhere to put it? No one to tell, no diary you trust, just… everything sitting heavy inside you.
That's exactly why I built Vent It.
It's a safe little space where you write everything you've been holding in and watch it disappear into the fog. No storage. No receipts. Just you, your words, and that lighter feeling after.
The background shifts with real time, so if you're venting at 3am, it feels like 3am. It matches your moment.
And you're never fully alone. There's a tiny cat companion that somehow always knows what to say when you're going through it.
I built this because I couldn't find a place like this when I needed one. So I made it.
Try it and tell me if you felt it too 🌫️
Love this idea. Creating a space for reflection and emotional release feels both thoughtful and meaningful. Good luck!
