Re-imagining the digital grid with Kinetica: The Elastic Workspace. 🧬
For the FigmaMakeathon, I wanted to move past the static "flick-to-scroll" interaction of 2007. Kinetica introduces physical tension and organic motion to digital discovery. By treating UI as a tactile material that stretches and snaps with real-world physics, we turn a simple gallery into a sensory experience.
Built entirely with Figma Make to shape the future of how we "feel" data.

Imagine a "daily pal" for AR or desk tablets—managing tasks and routines through natural gestures instead of a mouse. For #FigmaMakeathon, I moved beyond static design to build a live-synced prototype proving the potential of spatial interaction.
I stepped out of the standard use cases for #FigmaMake with a robust output layer for custom computer vision. Custom MediaPipe script translates gestures into data. Supabase holds the system state in real-time. Figma Make consumes that data to trigger complex, animated changes.
This experiment reframes prototyping for AR/VR—using the design tools we love and new interactions.

And yes, I don't code.

I built a website where the only interaction is waiting.
No buttons. No scroll. No clicks. You just stay. The longer you stay, the more it reveals — poetry, meaning, beauty. And then it all disappears. Because nothing is permanent. Not even the things you earned by being patient.
Your cursor becomes a flashlight into the past — briefly illuminating what was there. But you can never see the whole thing again.
Still Here — built for the Figma Makeathon.
A screen that asks for nothing but your presence.
