Designing for the invisible economy. 🛠️✨
How do you build a digital portfolio for someone who has never used a smartphone? That was the challenge that drove my submission for the Contra x Figma #ConfigMakeathon.
Meet ShramID.
India runs on the labor of 400 million blue-collar workers. But because they are hired purely through word-of-mouth, they have zero digital proof of their skills. No resume means no trust, and ultimately, limited economic mobility.
Since nearly 70% of this workforce faces literacy or tech barriers, a standard consumer app was bound to fail. So, I threw out the keyboard and designed a 'zero-tech' ecosystem that is entirely voice-driven and fully localized in their native language.
🗣️ Zero-Typing Onboarding
Workers visit a local center and simply speak about their past jobs. Our native AI instantly translates their voice into a clean, structured digital profile.
🤝 1-Tap Employer Verification
Past bosses receive a secure SMS link. Without downloading any apps, they can verify the worker's history, leave a star rating, and record an audio testimonial with a single tap.
🪪 The Offline Passport
The digital profile is converted into a physical, scannable QR card for the worker. When a future employer scans it, they instantly see verified skills and hear real voice vouches in their regional language.
ShramID is more than an interface—it’s a trust protocol designed to turn unrecorded labor into undeniable proof.
A massive thank you to #Figma for the incredible new design tools that made mapping out this multi-user, cross-platform flow possible.

Introducing Rangoli Studio 🌸
Every morning my mother draws Rangoli
on our doorstep in Bengaluru.
I always watched but could never
recreate her art.
So I built Rangoli Studio —
where anyone can create traditional
Indian Rangoli patterns dot by dot.
THE PROBLEM:
Traditional Rangoli art is disappearing
in the digital world. No tool existed
to experience this 5000 year old tradition.
Until now.
HOW IT WORKS:
✨ Choose your favorite festival
✨ Follow the dot guide
✨ Connect dots to build your pattern
✨ Pour the Powder to celebrate
✨ Download and share your creation
BUILT WITH:
🛠 Figma Make
🛠 Figma Weave
🛠 Prompt engineering — zero coding

I built a social network that tells you to touch grass. 🌱
It's called Touch Grass.
Try it yourself ↓

Technology keeps moving us forward, but it also keeps us glued to screens. So I wanted to build something that gently pushes in the opposite direction.
Every user gets their own planet.
Upload photos you've taken in nature and watch your world come back to life. Miss a few days and it slowly starts fading again.
Every planet belongs to a real person. Explore the galaxy and discover worlds that other people are growing through their own photos and memories.
Built the entire thing in @Figma Make.
Made for the @contra x @Figma #ConfigMakeathon

Niceeeee
I joined the Config Makeathon and built BriefOS — a client brief operating system for designers, studios, and freelancers.
The problem I wanted to solve is something almost every designer deals with:
Client projects rarely start clean.
They usually start with scattered notes, vague goals, random references, unclear positioning, mixed opinions, and no approved direction. That chaos creates slow starts, endless revisions, weak strategy, and confusion between the designer and the client.
So I built BriefOS to turn that mess into a clear, structured website blueprint.
The idea:
Client chaos → AI signal extraction → website blueprint → visual direction → wireframe → client approval
Inside BriefOS, a designer can collect messy client input, organize it into useful categories, extract important signals, build a sitemap, generate copy directions, choose visual routes, adjust wireframes, and send decisions into a client approval room.
I wanted the product to feel less like a generic AI tool and more like a real project command center.
What I built:
Command Center to track the full project workflow
Intake Wall for messy client notes, links, screenshots, and references
Signal Extractor to identify offer, audience, CTA, tone, gaps, and contradictions
Blueprint Builder for sitemap, homepage structure, copy, and conversion path
Visual Lab for mood, palette, typography, layout direction, and style routes
Wireframe Studio for reviewing and refining the homepage structure
Approval Room for client decisions, comments, approvals, and revision requests
I also focused on making the experience interactive instead of just “AI magically does everything.”
The user can tag notes, approve or reject signals, choose direction, reorder sections, compare options, adjust wireframes, and approve final decisions.
Built using Figma Make as part of the Config Makeathon.
The goal was simple:
Help designers move from confusion to clarity faster — while keeping strategy, copy, design, and client approval connected in one workflow.
Still more I’d love to improve:
deeper real data inputs
stronger drag-and-drop behavior
better client presentation mode
more polished animations
live export options
more visual direction templates
But for this version, I’m happy with the core concept: a useful AI workflow product built around a real design problem.

This is actually a really useful idea. Turning messy client briefs into a clear workflow solves a real problem.
