Biomechanics in rehabilitation: from movement data to better recovery
Biomechanics helps rehabilitation by objectively measuring how people with disabilities move and interact with forces. Tools such as motion capture, force plates, and EMG quantify gait, joint motion, muscle activation, and balance, allowing clinicians to identify impairments and compensations. These data support personalized therapy, track recovery more accurately than clinical scales, and inform the design of assistive technologies such as orthoses, prostheses, and exoskeletons. Biomechanics does not replace therapists, but strengthens rehabilitation by making decisions more precise, adaptive, and evidence-based.

Stretch-it: Hand Exercises for Creatives, Built with Figma Make this weekend.
Early in my design career, I injured my hands. Multiple physiotherapy sessions, lost time, and a lot of self-doubt later, I realized most of us don't think about our hands until it's too late.
So I built this over the weekend 🫰
Stretch-it is a simple hand and finger exercise app with motion gestures, covering the fundamentals: strengthening, stretching, and flexibility as well as the reps and relax system.
Check it out here:

All based on notes from my own physiotherapy journey.
Our hands are our greatest gift as creatives. Let's actually take care of them 💖

Damn, I was just thinking about this! I assumed it was a no-go. So Cool!!
Grab the Bears - A Camera-Based Gesture Interaction
A few years ago, gesture interaction required a full engineering team and months of development.
For the Figma Makeathon, I built a working camera-controlled gesture game on my own - entirely in Figma Make.
Grab the Bears reimagines tap and swipe as physical gestures. Players use their right hand to grab floating bears in real time.
• Camera-driven embodied interaction
• Real-time gesture detection
• Animated UI + sound micro-interactions
• Dynamic result generation with shareable export?
Really impressive — camera-based interaction inside Figma Make is a leap. Curious how you handled gesture recognition latency and feedback loops? The micro-response timing probably makes or breaks the experience
Re-imagining the digital grid with Kinetica: The Elastic Workspace. 🧬
For the FigmaMakeathon, I wanted to move past the static "flick-to-scroll" interaction of 2007. Kinetica introduces physical tension and organic motion to digital discovery. By treating UI as a tactile material that stretches and snaps with real-world physics, we turn a simple gallery into a sensory experience.
Built entirely with Figma Make to shape the future of how we "feel" data.
