I challenged myself to stop vibe-coding UI from scratch and actually research first.
Used Mobbin to study how the world’s best apps handle hierarchy and feel. Then I rebuilt Trace (http://tracemobbinchallenge.web.app/) informed by those patterns.
The result?
Before: built from scratch, no references. Functional. Stiff.
After: same app, real research behind every decision. Completely different energy.
The lesson: Study the best, then build something better. Every time.
Trace is a creative companion for those landing in a new city. It’s designed to turn the "to-do list" of moving into a series of meaningful quests, marked by tactile interactions and high-end visual storytelling.

FairShare is a real-time bill-splitting app designed for group hangouts, trips, and shared activities.
Instead of splitting a single bill, FairShare handles multiple activities with different payers, then calculates each person’s total share and determines the minimum number of transactions needed to settle everything.
No more:
“You pay A, then A pays B”
Long chains of transfers
Confusion over who owes whom
