Hi folks! 👋 For #FigmaMakeathon, I built World of gardens 🌱 https://wild-hero-84259363.figma.site
Growing up in a busy city, I always wanted a garden of my own. There was never room. Not in the apartment, not on the balcony, not in the schedule. The closest I got was watching plants in other people's windows and walking past parks on the way to somewhere else.
The world is losing real gardens too. Trees are quietly disappearing from the places we grew up, and most of us don't notice until one we remember is gone. I wanted to make something small that pointed at that — gently, without lecturing.
So I built World of gardens. A tiny pixel-art world where strangers each grow one hexagonal plot. You pick grass or water, decorate it with plants and flowers and trees, and snap your hex next to the tiles other people made before you. You can wander, peek into other plots, leave a small note.
Nobody owns the whole. Nobody plans the whole. It ends up uneven, mismatched, full of small decisions only one gardener would've made — which is what a real garden looks like when many hands have touched it.
I made this for the kid version of me who wanted a garden and never got one. And for everyone else who's quietly losing the trees outside their window. It won't bring any of them back. But it's a small place on the internet where a tree is a thing you plant on purpose, and someone else will see it.
The whole project was build on figma and fima-make starting with the planning feature laying out every aspect then detailing out all the creatives and finally polishing them. All the different agents available really helped me a lot in designing, ideating and implementing like Opus for critical thinking, Gemini 3.1 fro deep creatives and image generation. Figma make gives us the designers the super power to build anything, imagination is just the limit. I have also used Supabase as the database for all the gardens.

Figma X Contra challenge
Buddi gives kids a friend, not just a game. They pick their buddy, Lea or Leo and travel together across a world of islands, where every stop is a fun minigame secretly training a real skill: focus, memory, impulse control, patience.
And when a kid misses? No "wrong," no "game over." Their buddy misses with them, cheers them up, and says let's try again. Retrying gets celebrated, not punished.
Kids get a world map to explore, badges to collect, and a shop to dress up their buddy with stars they earn. Parents get their own gated dashboard to track behavior, moods, progress, and skill growth, all in plain language.
I built Buddi because I wanted both sides covered: kids get a fun educational game they actually love, and parents finally get a way to see how their child is really doing.
How I built it: research and structure with Claude → every screen designed in Figma → Lea, Leo, and the shop items illustrated in Figma Weave → living prototype in Figma Make, with Claude writing the Make prompts and the buddies' in-game dialogue. Design first, always.
A friend first. Everything good is hidden inside the friendship.
i hope you guys enjoy! and ill be glad to hear feedbacks from all of you!
This is so wholesome I love it !
Did you know a tornado formed the year you were born?
Not a real one. A data one.
Type your birth year. Watch the storm react - the speed, the color, the rage of it - all driven by the exact CO₂ levels recorded that year.

🔬 The Problem
Climate change is the most documented crisis in human history. Scientists have been collecting data for over 65 years. But most people feel nothing when they see the numbers - because a wall of data doesn't make you care. That is a design problem. The Data Tornado is my answer.
⚙️ How It Was Built
I started in FigJam - mapping the full app structure, severity color system (Stable → Elevated → Critical → Extreme), and the 65-year climate timeline before touching any build tool.
In Figma Make, I loaded my complete design guidelines first - colors, fonts, spacing rules - so every generated output matched my vision from the first prompt. That one step eliminated hours of corrections.
The MCP connector was the most critical technical piece: a custom live pipeline to NOAA's servers, pulling real CO₂ and temperature readings automatically every time someone opens the app. No downloading. No pasting. Always live.
The hero background video was generated entirely in Figma Weave - I set a start frame and end frame, and Weave generated the full atmospheric storm footage between them. The Figma Agent handled precision edits throughout -clicking directly on individual elements, repositioning buttons, aligning sections, without touching anything else.
Supabase powers the share cards, news gallery, and live data caching. GitHub handles deployment.
🛠️ Tools Used
→ FigJam: full app structure, severity system & data flow diagrams
→ Figma Make: prompt-to-code app with custom NOAA MCP connector
→ Figma MCP: live pipeline direct to NOAA's climate API
→ Figma Weave: AI video generation for the hero storm background
→ Figma Agent: precision element-level UI edits throughout the build
→ Supabase: backend for share cards, news & data caching
→ GitHub: deployment and version control
✨ Key Feature - Birth Year Telemetry
Enter your birth year. The app instantly generates your personal climate log -the exact CO₂ concentration the year you arrived in the world, your temperature anomaly then vs. now, your severity level at birth vs. today. It stops being a global statistic. It becomes yours.
Most people go quiet when they see their own number.

Today's design exploration started with a Dribbble inspiration piece.
Rather than copying it directly, I challenged myself to reinterpret the concept and experiment with a completely different visual direction.
The original inspiration uses vibrant blue and orange colors to create an energetic feel, while my version leans into a darker, more premium aesthetic.
A great exercise in studying design principles and then applying them through your own lens.
