Project Title: Clippings — Navigating the AI Job Market Black Hole
The Problem:
Modern job seeking feels like a black hole. Platforms like LinkedIn are choked with noise, and corporate applicant tracking systems (ATS) use sterile AI algorithms to filter out talented applicants before a human ever sees their resume. It’s a broken system that strips the personality out of hiring.
The Solution:
Clippings is a highly editorial, modern job-seeking platform designed specifically for tech and design professionals. Taking structural and typographic inspiration from classic newspaper classifieds, Clippings focuses on instant utility and clarity.
Users drag and drop their resume first—experiencing instant value before even creating an account. The platform dynamically matches applicants to tech roles, calculates compatibility scores, highlights crucial skill gaps, and features an interactive "Scrapbook" area to scan and analyze external job descriptions found across the web.
Key Design Features:
Time-to-Value Onboarding: Upload a PDF resume instantly to view matches before onboarding friction.
The 3-Column Newspaper Grid: A strict, premium digital-journalism layout built for high performance in both Light and Dark modes.
AI Auto-Tailoring & Print Room: Instantly adjust resumes to match target roles and export clean, print-ready PDFs.
Designed entirely using Figma Make with a focus on advanced Auto Layout, clean variable systems, and interactive prototyping.

I built Interactive Earth History Explorer for the Config Makeathon.
Interactive Earth History Explorer
The web app allows users to travel through Earth's history by scrolling through a timeline and interacting with a 3D globe. Users can explore:
Geological eras and major Earth events
The evolution of life on Earth
Ancient civilizations and historical milestones
Important locations associated with historical events
Multimedia content such as images, animations, and descriptions
—————————
Target Users
Students and educators
History enthusiasts
Parents looking for interactive learning tools
—————————
Traditional methods of learning history and geology are often:
Text-heavy and difficult to visualize
Presented as static timelines that lack interactivity
Disconnected from geographical context
——————————
Solution
The web application provides an immersive and interactive learning experience by combining:
🌍 Interactive 3D Globe, 📅 Scrollable Timeline, 🖼 Rich Content Cards, ✨ Immersive Storytelling

My process: Pen and paper → Figma make → Using Figma make to generate ideas → Prompting it out as perfectly as I can get it to work → Connected to Figma server → Deployed

For the #ConfigMakeathon, I created Book Trace. It is a reading journal app that helps you capture thoughts while you read, and leave a personal trace when you finish.
[Concept]
Book Trace turns the experience of reading into something you can hold onto. Instead of forgetting what a book meant to you, you leave a Trace — one sentence, one emotion, one word. The app also reads what you wrote and tells you what kind of reader you are, with book recommendations matched to your type and genre.
[Project Overview]
For this submission, I designed:
- Onboarding flow;
- Still Reading experience with in-the-moment note capture;
- Finished flow with the full Trace journey;
- Reader Identity system with personalized recommendations;
- Library with saved traces;
- UI Kit and design system.
[Workflow]
I built the full product from concept to prototype in Figma. UI Kit, component library, and interactive flows all in one file.
[My Experience]
What I loved most about this challenge was how it pushed me to think about the full user journey, not just screens, but emotions. Book Trace started as a simple idea and grew into something that feels genuinely personal.
Figma made it possible to move from rough concept to polished prototype without ever leaving the workspace.
Thank you to the Figma team for a challenge that made me build something I actually want to use!

This feels like a really polished direction for a wallet product. I like how the concept balances security with a more future-facing, modern experience. It doesn’t feel overly complicated, which is exactly what makes a finance product feel more trustworthy and usable.
