Hey! Do you feel this too? 🌞
It’s only the fourth day of spring and coincidentally the fourth day of sun where I am. But the shift is sooo tangible!
Even as we sit in front of screens and work in artificial light in our small concrete boxes, our bodies and creative energy respond to nature more than we admit
With the return of sunlight and warmth, there’s more energy and more desire to create. It feels like waking up together with nature
So here’s a gentle reminder:
✦ step outside in the first half of the day and let the sun touch your face
✦ listen to the birds and wind instead of headphones
✦ open your windows and let spring into the room
✦ pause in the evening and watch the sunset
Sometimes that’s all it takes to recharge your creative battery🔋✨
I definitely feel this. Even working mostly behind screens, a few minutes of real sunlight or stepping outside can completely reset focus and creativity. It’s interesting how much our energy shifts with the seasons.
Totally agree! Sometimes the best boost for creative work is to step away from it for a moment 😄
Very true. Even a short break can completely reset perspective and help ideas flow again.
felt this deeply. there's something about natural light that no productivity hack can replicate. the first sunny walk of spring clears more mental fog than a week of coffee tbh
Oooh that first walk on dry asphalt! 🤤
Feels like life starts again haha

Try It Yourself: Circadia · Tap the logo to change between modes.
Circadia is such a smart concept love how it makes digital interaction feel alive and aligned with real-life rhythms. The way time influences behavior, motion, and rules is a next-level approach to mindful social design. Built in Figma Make? Absolutely inspiring!
Curtains, cameras, and hand gestures.
For the Figma Makeathon I built a small experiment I’ve wanted to try for a long time: controlling a scene with your hands in front of the camera.
It started with a simple idea — opening and closing curtains with a gesture. Raise both hands 🙌, the curtains pull apart in 3D, and light floods in. I used three.js and WebGL to make the fabric feel as realistic as possible.
Then I kept going.
Now different hand signs — 🙌 👍 👎 👌 🤘 ✌️ — each trigger their own music video behind the window. There’s also a small database layer so you can map your own tracks to each gesture and share a link with friends.
It’s a playful controller for turning a simple “window” into an interactive music experience.

this one is sick
As an independent freelancer, my work life is not very colorful; rather, it is confined to the small world where I live. No matter how the world unfolds, I come back to my same old nest where I find my inner peace... myself... from where I see the days go by outside the window. I tried to capture my little world inside a mobile, mimicking how my work life goes each day: work... music... sleep... repeat.
