Print is effective (and fun) because it’s physical 🤝

🗣️ It’s one thing to design on screen, and another to get something that feels right in hand — stock weight, finish and colour accuracy, it all matters.

– The fun part for me is sweating those details so the final piece does more than look good in a PDF, it actually pulls its weight in the real world.

✅ We wrapped up business cards for BrouwerBuildingSystems.com (site built by The Bold Bureau :) team with a simple, on-brand layout on a heavier matte stock so the card matches what they build: solid, durable, and unfussy.

I built a multiplayer embroidery sampler for the internet. It's called Common Thread. It's the first thing I've ever vibecoded with Figma Make! Try it here! https://volt-harp-38332355.figma.site/ A sampler is a piece of fabric where you practice and collect different stitches — a reference guide and playground in one. They were meant to be passed between hands and added to over time. Common Thread is that, but the fabric is infinite, the UI is whimsical, and the hands are anonymous. Every visitor gets a patch on a shared canvas. You pick a thread color, choose a stitch type, and craft your art. The part I love most: you can snap any section with a draggable embroidery hoop and export it, framed. i love how Figma Make is a kind of tool that lets you focus on what something should feel like, not how to ship it. <3
