FigmaFlow — Figma Designs That Ship, Not Just Sit Pretty | Top 1% Figma Expert | Contra
Figma designs that ship, not just sit pretty.
I'm a Top 1% Figma expert on Contra. I don't just make pretty screens — I help founders ship production-ready Figma that devs actually love to build.
Most Figma files are messy. No auto-layout, broken components, no variants. Devs hate it. I fix that.
This is how I did FigmaFlow:
1. The Problem I Solved:
Founders come to me with Figma files that look good but can't be shipped. Fixed frames break on mobile. 20 different button components. No documentation. Engineering wastes weeks fixing design. My job is to make Figma that ships in days, not months.
2. How I Built It — Built to Ship Method:
Component System: I built a scalable system with variants. One button = 12 variants (Default, Hover, Pressed, Disabled x Sizes). Zero confusion for devs. Example in the design shows Button / Primary with Property: State, Size, Style.
Auto-Layout & Responsive: Every frame uses Auto-Layout. Direction: Horizontal, Spacing: 12, Padding: 16, Resizing: Hug contents. Pixel-perfect, flexible layouts that adapt to any screen. No brittle fixed frames. I show this live in the Figma panel screenshot with hand-drawn notes.
Tokens + Styles — Single Source of Truth: Color Styles / Tokens, Typography / Text Styles, Spacing & Grid. I annotated it in the design: "tokens + styles single source of truth →" so founders understand why it's valuable.
Human Touch: I added real hands on keyboard, iced coffee, sticky notes that say "fix modal padding →", "client love: clean handoff , "ship v1.2 today ". This makes it feel human, not AI. Real work environment.
3. Social Proof That Sells:
I added "Founders we've helped ship" — Sarah (Founder, Nova): "FigmaFlow shipped our design system in 2 weeks. Our engineering team finally loves our Figma." + Marcus + Priya with 5-star reviews. Plus badges: Award-winning, 100+ shipped designs, 4.9 on Contra, 30+ startups from 0→1.
4. Pricing — Simple, Clear, No Surprises:
I designed 3 offers founders already buy:
Design Sprint: $4,500 / 2-week sprint — Complete UI for 5-8 screens, Component library + variants, Dev-ready Figma file, Loom handoff walkthrough
Design System (Most Popular): $9,500 / fixed price — Full tokens, styles, components, variants, documentation, Storybook export
Retainer: $6k/mo — Ongoing design & iteration, Weekly ship — 20h/mo support
All deliverables are in Figma. Dev-ready. I work in your Figma org. Average turnaround 1-2 weeks.
Tools: Figma (Auto-Layout, Variants, Component Properties, Figma Tokens), FigJam for planning.
Result: A landing page that doesn't just show I can design — it shows I can THINK like an engineer and SHIP like a founder. That's why founders pay $4.5k - $9.5k for this, not $200.
If you have a messy Figma file or need a design system that your devs won't hate — DM me "SHIP" and let's book a free consult.

Solar Energy Tracker & Smart Battery Management App UI Design
As residential solar installations and home battery storage scale globally, homeowners demand real-time visibility into their power generation, grid independence, and daily cost savings.
We designed this modern Solar Energy Tracker & Smart Battery Management Mobile UI to make complex energy telemetry digestible and visually engaging. Built for CleanTech startups, solar inverter brands, EV charging networks, and smart home IoT platforms, this warm, minimalist mobile interface turns intricate power metrics into actionable energy insights.
The Problem We Solved
Most energy management platforms overload users with confusing technical jargon, unreadable raw data tables, and disconnected system metrics. For everyday homeowners, understanding power flow between solar panels, battery reserves, home consumption, and the electrical grid feels like reading a utility bill without a key.
This concept prioritizes visual clarity and flow mechanics through intuitive power node diagrams, real-time generation trackers ($4.98\text{ kWh}$), $CO_2$ offsets, and dynamic battery reserve cards.
Key Features & UX Highlights
Real-Time Generation & Carbon Metrics: High-visibility hero widget highlighting real-time output ($70.9\text{ kWh Generated}$), solar intensity, $CO_2$ saved ($2.4\text{ kg}$), and monetary daily savings.
Interactive Energy Storage & Load Curves: Granular line and bar graphs tracking hourly stored energy ($20.1\text{ kWh}$) and peak vs. off-peak consumption limits.
Self-Powered & Grid Dependence Gauge: Visual radial arc showing $50\%$ self-powered autonomy ($92\%$ peak self-power vs. $8\%$ grid reliance).
Dynamic Node System Power Flow: Interactive visual node architecture displaying live power distribution between Solar Production ($62\text{ kW}$), Home Usage ($3.5\text{ kW}$), and Battery Reserve ($90\%$ Charge).
Building a CleanTech, Solar, or Smart IoT Mobile App?
Whether you're an ambitious founder launching a renewable energy management platform or an IoT hardware brand scaling consumer-facing software, we design high-retention, user-centric UI/UX that makes sustainable living effortless.
Let's Collaborate on Something Amazing!
We are available for new projects! Let's create impactful, innovative designs together.

I've put together, in a pinch, a collection of crab and lobster logo explorations focused on clean geometry, bold silhouettes, and playful coastal character. The marks are designed to work across branding, packaging, restaurants, seafood products, and maritime-inspired identities while remaining simple, scalable, and memorable.
Available for freelance projects and brand identity work.
the crab ones are great
Put ByteDance's Seedance 2.5 through its paces on a spec, period-specific extreme doc style concept. A solo mountaineer in a harsh alpine environment. Honest read on where the 30-second single-take spec actually holds up, and the pre-production work that goes into making it land.
