One of the best parts of writing is getting the opportunity to learn something new every time you sit down to write.
These are a few blogs I wrote for Lilypad, where I got to research, write, and simplify ideas for readers.
Looking back at them reminds me how much I've grown, not just as a writer, but as someone who enjoys turning information into stories people actually want to read.
Sharing a few of them here. Feedback is always welcome.
Open to freelance content writing opportunities and collaborations.

Excited to submit "soundchecksf" a new and organic way to discovery live music.

Community file: https://www.figma.com/community/file/1647490463683801916
Why this idea...I believe discovering new music these days is far too algorithmic. That said, taking a chance on seeing a live band you've never heard of has its own issues too. So I thought, what if I could build an experience that would simulate what it is like walking through an area only to hear a sound that pulls you in and creates a memory forever? This was very much inspired by what happened to me a few years back.
Enter...soundchecksf where you can take a stroll through a neighborhood and hear ACTUAL live music that's coming to a place near you! This updates every night 4amPST so you're bound to discover a new sound every time you come back.
How I built this...started with basically pen and paper (aka an app and Apple pen) quickly followed by planning and building a prototype with Claude. Then I used Figma Weave to build some assets and went into Figma Make to build key parts of this experience, one-by-one. After multiple rounds of polishing the UX, UI, the mobile experience, and ensuring I had accurate and functioning backend support...what has come out of all of this is something I'm proud to share.
Let me know what you think and wishing best of luck to all the other participants!
P.s For feasibility, UX, and credit reasons, I had to limit this to a few venues throughout certain neighborhoods in the Bay Area. Also, the artwork is loosely inspired by the place it's respresenting. I can't wait to build this out more, add more polish and yes, more cities!

Hello everyone 🎉
I'm Viktoriia, a UX/UI Designer from Ukraine with 4+ years of experience creating websites and digital products.
My work spans SaaS, e-commerce, real estate, education, wellness, and nonprofit projects — from UX research and user flows to polished UI and design systems.
Lately, I've been actively exploring how AI can support the design process. I use AI tools to support research, explore ideas, challenge assumptions, and streamline workflows while keeping human-centred design at the core.
Excited to connect with fellow designers, founders, and creative professionals here on Contra. ✨
lovely stikers 😍😍😍 Welcome to Contra 🎉
Slay or Fail — a Y2K tarot oracle that reads your design's fate. every designer ships with a pit in their stomach: deadlines, clients, the fear it'll flop.
So we cope with rituals — this one's just prettier. Pull 3 cards, the meter calls it (certified slay or glorious disaster), get a cursed-but-true prophecy, let go, hit send.
The recipe: 80% Figma Make, 20% content gen + prompting across ChatGPT, Claude & Gemini, and a pinch of love.
Cosmic RNG, not a perf review.
