01
THE STARTING POINT
The idea behind it.
Make Morse code feel approachable through a tactile, editorial interface that you can read and hear.
THE CHALLENGE
A translator is easy to build; making the signal itself understandable and inviting takes more considered interaction design.
THE APPROACH
Separate the visual language from the other tools: warm paper, terracotta and violet accents, with adjustable playback pace and tone.
02
WHAT WENT INTO IT
Built with intention.
