Something I wish I knew on day one of using Webflow:
You don’t need a calculator open. Ever.
Seriously.
For the longest time, I had a calculator tab open every single time I built something.
Converting px to rem.
Adjusting spacing.
Dividing widths.
Tweaking layouts.
Back and forth. Every day.
Then I found out you can type math directly inside most Webflow size fields.
Need to convert 24px into rem?
Just type:
24/16rem
Webflow instantly turns it into 1.5rem.
Need to divide a section width?
Multiply spacing?
Adjust percentages?
Do it right there.
No switching tabs.
No mental math.
No breaking focus.
And what made this even better:
Figma supports similar math inputs too.
That means your design-to-development workflow stays way more consistent.
It sounds small.
But honestly, tiny workflow improvements like this compound fast.
Saving 10 seconds, 20 times a day?
That adds up.
I spent months doing it the hard way before finding this by accident.
Now it’s one of those things I use without even thinking.
What’s one “small” feature in your workflow that changed how you work?
Always looking for those.

I didn't set out to build another educational app.
I started with a simple question:
How can screen time become more meaningful for children and their families?
That question led me to create WonderTrail.
WonderTrail is an educational adventure designed for children aged 6–10, where reading, math, science, creativity and storytelling become part of one magical journey.
Children explore new worlds, complete challenges, unlock achievements and build confidence through learning.
But WonderTrail isn't just for children.
Parents are part of the adventure too.
A bedtime story becomes a shared moment.
A completed level becomes a celebration.
A badge becomes a parent saying, "I'm proud of you."
In a world where technology often competes for attention, I wanted to explore how it could strengthen learning, curiosity and family connection instead.
WonderTrail transforms screen time into meaningful learning, meaningful achievement and meaningful family moments.
Built with Figma Make for the Config Makeathon.

Just explored WonderTrail with my child and I'm impressed.
Most apps compete for attention.
This one encourages curiosity, learning and shared family moments.
The mix of stories, math, science and creativity is really well done.
Excited to see where this project goes.
Here is my submission for the #makeathon
FocusDock is a calming focus timer designed for work, study, reading, and deep focus sessions.
https://detach-lime-09329627.figma.site/
The idea started from a simple problem: most focus timers are functional, but they don’t feel personal or emotionally engaging. I wanted to create a timer that feels more like a small ritual, choosing your environment, placing your clock, setting the mood, and starting a focused session with intention.
With FocusDock, users can:
Choose a focus duration
Pick from different illustrated desk, shelf, and table backgrounds
Select a clock style
Place the clock naturally inside the scene
Start a clean, distraction-free focus session
Use ambient sounds or music to support concentration
The design direction is soft, calm, and minimal, using 2D illustrated backgrounds with clear surfaces where the clock can sit naturally. The goal is to make the clock feel like an object inside the workspace, not just a floating timer UI.
I’m using Figma’s suite of tools to explore the visual system, generate the interface direction, and build the interactive prototype with Figma Make. A big part of the challenge is making the experience feel polished: smooth transitions, thoughtful placement, responsive layouts, and a focus flow that feels simple but meaningful.
For me, this project is about turning time management into a calmer, more intentional experience.
