Project Overview & Role

Contributed to the end-to-end product design and development of Legacy Building, a digital journaling platform created to help individuals preserve meaningful memories, life experiences, and personal stories in a lasting and organized format.
Worked closely throughout the product journey, helping transform an early-stage concept into a fully realized platform. The role involved defining user experiences, shaping core product functionality, and building systems that make capturing and preserving personal memories simple, accessible, and meaningful.

About the Product

Legacy Building is a memory preservation platform that enables users to create and maintain personal journals containing text entries, photos, and voice recordings.
Designed around the idea that important moments can fade or become lost over time, the platform provides a dedicated space for documenting life experiences and milestones. Users can organize memories into multiple journals, access and download their content whenever needed, and even transform their digital collections into professionally compiled physical journal books.
