Optisense Academy is a premium, multi-tenant educational platform and SaaS data ecosystem tailored for precision engineering, metrology, and CNC calibration fields (compliant with ISO 230-2 standards).
As the solo Frontend Architect and UX/UI Designer, I engineered the entire client-facing experience from scratch. The core challenge was to build a highly responsive, premium dark-themed interface that visualizes complex mathematical models and raw industrial sensor data cleanly, moving away from legacy spreadsheet-based tools.
Key Contributions & Technical Stack:
• UI/UX Architecture: Crafted a custom, high-contrast, scalable design system focused on data density and high scannability for engineering students and lab managers.
• Frontend Engineering: Built using React and Tailwind CSS, featuring interactive video modules, dynamically rendered text theory notes, and complex layout transitions.
• Database & Progress Tracking: Integrated with Supabase (PostgreSQL Core) to build robust user progress mapping and secure, custom layout configurations.
• Real-World Alignment: Structured data tables and submission blocks to eventually connect with automated machine-learning edge functions that validate user calculation scripts in real time.

Today's design exploration started with a Dribbble inspiration piece.
Rather than copying it directly, I challenged myself to reinterpret the concept and experiment with a completely different visual direction.
The original inspiration uses vibrant blue and orange colors to create an energetic feel, while my version leans into a darker, more premium aesthetic.
A great exercise in studying design principles and then applying them through your own lens.
Question:

Buddi / A Fun Companion Game for Kids with ADHD

Figma X Contra challenge
Buddi gives kids a friend, not just a game. They pick their buddy, Lea or Leo and travel together across a world of islands, where every stop is a fun minigame secretly training a real skill: focus, memory, impulse control, patience.
And when a kid misses? No "wrong," no "game over." Their buddy misses with them, cheers them up, and says let's try again. Retrying gets celebrated, not punished.
Kids get a world map to explore, badges to collect, and a shop to dress up their buddy with stars they earn. Parents get their own gated dashboard to track behavior, moods, progress, and skill growth, all in plain language.
I built Buddi because I wanted both sides covered: kids get a fun educational game they actually love, and parents finally get a way to see how their child is really doing.
How I built it: research and structure with Claude → every screen designed in Figma → Lea, Leo, and the shop items illustrated in Figma Weave → living prototype in Figma Make, with Claude writing the Make prompts and the buddies' in-game dialogue. Design first, always.
A friend first. Everything good is hidden inside the friendship.
i hope you guys enjoy! and ill be glad to hear feedbacks from all of you!
This is so wholesome I love it !
I’m building the lab I wish my students had. 🧪✨
For years, I taught brilliant minds in empty labs. We described reactions instead of seeing them. This "STEM Interaction Gap" drove my submission for the #ConfigMakeathon.
🚀 Introducing: LabCraft AI
Turn static lesson plans into interactive web simulations in seconds. No code—just curriculum.
⚡ The Workflow (via @Figma Make):
AI Design: Generated responsive "Teacher Dashboard" & "Simulation Canvas" layouts instantly.
Logic Mapping: Used Figma Variables to link sliders to real-time flask visual states.
It’s personal. It’s EdTech. It’s the future of STEM.

📂 Remix the Prompt: (See the section below!)
📂 The "Secret Sauce" (Remix Prompt)
SYSTEM ROLE: Principal Product Architect. GOAL: Generate a 3-screen STEM web app "LabCraft AI" (1440px) using Clean Neobrutalism (2px borders, 8px corners, 4px hard shadows). SCREENS: 1. Prompt Input Dashboard: Sidebar navigation + center AI input bar (48px height) with hover/focus states. 2. Interactive Lab Canvas: Split view. Left: 2 Sliders (8px track, 24px thumb) in Chemical Green (#01C38D). Right: Simulation viewport with an Erlenmeyer Flask showing dynamic fluid levels. 3. Performance Analytics: Grid of 3 metric cards + line chart with interactive nodes in Science Blue (#2A697). CONSTRAINTS: Use Auto Layout for everything. Semantic layer naming. Accessible palette (#2A6F97, #01C38D, #FF6B6B).
🛠️ Quick Setup for Remixers 😊
If you're trying this prompt in Figma Make, follow these two steps for the best results:
StepAction1. Variable BindBind the generated colors to Local Variables to keep the Neobrutalist palette consistent.2. Prototype SyncLink the "Generate" button to the Lab Canvas using Smart Animate to show off the STEM interaction.
Amazing!
