Have you ever thought about how much power designers actually have?
The way an app feels isn’t accidental.
The pacing.
The spacing.
The tone.
The friction.
Designers shape behavior more than we realize.
The Figma Makeathon feels like a rare excuse to experiment with that.
Feb 24 – March 2
$100k in prizes 🤑
You in?
There’s something exciting about having a blank canvas and just seeing where an idea can go. 🎨
I’ll be joining the @Figma Makeathon and I’m SUPER hyped for it.
Excited to explore new ideas, experiment with the workflow, and build something from scratch. The last Makeathon had so many creative submissions, so I can’t wait to see what everyone comes up with this time.
It runs from 🗓️ February 24 through March 2, so the next few days will be all about brainstorming, prototyping, and creating.
This kind of challenge is the perfect excuse to stop overthinking and just make. There’s also $100,000 in prizes, which makes it even more exciting. You can check it out HERE

Experimenting a lot with AI, one thing became clear: AI can match your design vision, but only if you are specific. Vague prompts = generic results.
So here is my current process using Figma Make, before I build anything, I ask AI to analyze the design language of a screenshot to build a design system first. Think of it as a style guide where colors, typography, and spacing are all locked in. Once that foundation is there, I use that same design system to build my application, website, whatever the project is.
The result? Way more consistent outputs and a lot less back and forth.
Style first, build later, makes total sense. Feels like treating AI as a junior designer instead of a magic box.
Give Cursor AI a shot too
