We make things to find out what’s possible.

This is where we make room to follow an idea before we know where it will lead. We explore new tools and build things we wish existed.

Projects — 06

2024 – 2026

01

Words Travel

Inspired by R. F. Kuang's Babel, Words Travel is an interactive globe where you can trace words like orange, magazine, and typhoon across languages and centuries. Each stop shows how a word's sound or meaning changed as it moved through different cultures. The word journeys were researched with ChatGPT, the experience shaped in Figma, and the whole thing built with Codex and Mapbox.

Storyroom

Reading alone is easy to abandon. Reading alongside other people — even strangers, even silently — makes you actually finish. Storyroom is an exploration of what a modern book club could feel like if it lived in your phone. Same book, same chapter, same day. A Salon where readers share passages clipped directly from the audio and an AI called StoryBot surfaces the context no one else could. The concept started with a real question: why does discovery through other readers feel so much more alive than any algorithm? Concept designed and vibe coded, an idea that doesn't exist anywhere else yet.

03

Prompt Annotations

Prompt Annotations is a Figma plugin that captures your vibe coding chat transcript and places a structured annotation frame next to your design in the file. It keeps the prompts, AI summary, and full back and forth with your design so your whole team has the context behind the work.

Dreaming in Design

Dreaming in Design is an AI-powered portfolio reviewer trained on real hiring criteria. The tool we're building will use AI because it's the only way to deliver personalized feedback at scale — specific to your role, level, and target companies.

We Are the Ones

An interactive art experience built entirely through vibe coding — no design tools, no code written by hand. We wanted to understand what becomes possible when a designer works purely in language, and to feel what it's like to describe something into existence rather than draw it. A golden door opens onto an open sky. A Tolkien-inspired story scrolls with read-along narrator, the sky brightening from pre-dawn to full daylight as it plays. The entire experience lives in a single HTML file, 84 kilobytes, two minutes long. Built in a day.
