ABOUTThis interactive data visualization captures a day in my life by celebrating the small, meaningful moments I share with the people around me. Built as a fully functioning website in Figma, the project features custom UI, playful animations, and hundreds of dynamic interactions gathered over a month.
As an extrovert, I’ve always found energy and joy in social connection—but I realized I often took these daily moments for granted. This project became a personal tribute to those interactions, designed to spark reflection and sentimentality for viewers as well. Who are the people in your life that spark joy?

THE SPARKEven on difficult days, I noticed that after nearly every interaction, I felt a subtle emotional lift. I began logging these moments, noting who I interacted with, the emotion I felt afterward, and whether I initiated the exchange. Over the course of a month, I tracked 344 interactions across 42 individuals, and categorized each by emotional impact.
This project isn’t just about data—it’s about emotional resonance, memory, and appreciation. I wanted to transform a sea of small talk, texts, and check-ins into something memorable and meaningful.
PROCESSVisually, I took inspiration from early 90s arcade games—especially Super Mario—for their charming, nostalgic feel. That aesthetic felt right for a project rooted in sentimentality and play. I designed every piece of the UI from scratch, developed the visual language and animation system, and created 42 custom characters modeled after people in my life.
Mapping 344 unique interactions, I built out an entire ecosystem of animated moments, emotional categorizations, and data-driven visuals. From the tiniest pixel detail to the user journey, this was a labor of love—and one of the most ambitious and personal projects I’ve ever completed.
