Hey everyone! I just created my first digital product: auraOS. It’s an AI-powered operating system designed for freelance designers who want more clarity, structure, and calm in their daily workflow, from managing clients to generating prompts, tracking time, and creating clean invoices in one focused space.

I combined my passion for rollerskating and creative coding to build a quick prototype, an interactive low-poly roller skate builder app with FigmaMake. It lets you learn about roller skate design, create custom low-poly skates, and share your unique builds with the world ✨. I think it might even be the first app of its kind? XD Thanks for the challenge, Contra! I had a blast building this 1st iteration just in time for my birthday! :3 https://stir-most-43906927.figma.site

Re-engineering Performance Through Interaction This project reimagines the reveal of a high-performance car through interactive storytelling. I used Figma Make to prototype a cinematic product experience — from a bold exterior introduction to a scroll-activated engine explosion and a final immersive close. Every transition was crafted to feel deliberate, controlled, and mechanically precise. Built entirely in Figma Make during the challenge window. preview: https://www.figma.com/proto/sdqxNhr5i7lmyuM2f343A4/Untitled?node-id=1-790&t=9ahvIGTllnBui5wm-0&scaling=scale-down&content-scaling=fixed&page-id=0%3A1

Cover image for Hey Contra!
I’m joining the @Figma

Hey Contra! I’m joining the @Figma Makeathon with Qeam (https://qeam.figma.site/) - a gamified RPG workspace for remote teams. Most remote work tools feel like spreadsheets with anxiety: No visibility. No personalization. No motivation. With Qeam you can: 😍 Turn tasks into Earn XP, streaks, and achievements 😊 Upgrade your team space as you ship work 😍 Discover hidden easter eggs (because teams deserve personality too) And honestly, I’m still a bit shocked by how capable Figma Make is - you can integrate with APIs and build features like managing music streams right inside the experience. Try the live prototype: https://qeam.figma.site/ Full video about the app + my process: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ACAbxxPF6Q8 PS. I couldn’t post it on the Figma Community because I’m using Supabase.

Cover image for I started with this question:

I started with this question: Can AI better serve the needs of artists and makers in a meaningful way? I'm a self-taught embroidery artist, and when i was learning, i would spend days on just planning my design before piercing needle through cloth. Print, trace, transfer, erase, redraw, repeat - my hands were itchinggg to get started, but mistakes at this stage were costly! This was the spark to build Stitch Studio, an AI-assisted composition tool built entirely in Figma Make with the help of Claude (https://www.linkedin.com/company/claude/) Opus4.6 to help beginners and the like get to making, faster. I tried to automate the tedious parts and let the actual making remain with the artist. Let me know if you give it a try! 😊

Cover image for I’m a little late to

I’m a little late to the party with this one, but when you’re building a living, breathing AI with a short fuse, you don’t rush the process. Designers, we’ve all been there: The logic is flawless. The grid is perfect. Then... the feedback arrives. "Can we make it more... blue-ish?" Inner Designer is my latest experimental project that says what you can't. Built with Figma Make, a live backend, and an AI brain that actually understands design theory, it doesn’t just design—it defends. The Hook: It explains its choices. The Twist: It has a breaking point. The Result: Push it too far with bad revisions, and the UI literally melts into frustration. It’s part tool, part therapy, and a little too real. Here is the Live Link: Inner Designer (https://moon-morph-57934661.figma.site)

Every time I try to plan my meals, I end up feeling disorganised and overwhelmed. So I built something to fix that for myself first. ✨ A Recipe Planner that lets you: • Add recipes directly into a weekly calendar • Mark it if you're going out. • Stay organised with your cooking schedule • Download & print your plan to stick on your fridge This started as a personal problem. Now it’s a product I’m proud of.

Here is my submission for the Figma Makeathon! I've created a ASCII design tool. My goal was to create unique ways to select tools. The Quick Ribbon [x] allows you to quickly swap between tools with your A & D keys. The toolbox is a quick way to swap between characters. I also incorporated a personal feature, CRT support. A quick way to swap to a 4:3 ratio to easily fit the application on any CRT. For those who want that extra level of digital grunge.

There's a lot going on right now. Sometimes I get to the end of the day and realize I've barely taken a real breath all day. Taking a few deep breaths helps me ease some of that tension. It sounds easy. It's weirdly not. So I made this for the Figma Make + Contra Challenge — one screen, one button, and just enough to keep your mind from wandering.

Cover image for Here's how to grow on

Here's how to grow on LinkedIn (the easy way). LinkedIn gives you a certain amount of weekly connections. The strategy? Use them all. Yes, LinkedIn recommends you avoid connecting with people you don't know, but if you want to grow fast, you've got to connect, connect, and connect. Why? The algorithm strongly favours accounts with more followers, so more followers equals more views. It's not a meritocracy like contra, where good content gets views regardless of follower count. So yeah, just connect with people who like competitors' posts. That's it, really simple.
