Small Repairs
Small Repairs is a digital kintsugi-inspired experience where users repair a broken object, add a small note, and place it on a shared shelf of repairs as a quiet reminder that they are not alone.
It is not a tool that claims to heal people.
It is simply a reminder that letting go can have a shape, a ritual, and a place.

The idea came from something simple: sometimes, letting go needs to feel symbolic.
Inspired by kintsugi, the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold, Small Repairs turns cracks into part of the journey rather than something to hide.
For me, healing does not mean pretending nothing happened. Sometimes, it means carrying the scars as a reminder of how strong you are.
I created the visual world using Weave, then brought the images and videos into Figma Make to build the interaction, motion, flow, and final prototype.
This project was personal because I am returning to design after a three-year career break. A friend introduced me to Contra, and after joining, I came across the Figma Makeathon.
Even though I am a designer, my go-to tools have always been Adobe. This was my first proper attempt at making something in Figma Make, and I quickly realised how rusty I was.
Restarting is not easy. It means learning again, trusting your hands again, finishing something, and allowing yourself to be seen.
The prototype is not perfect yet, but it helped me experiment, learn, and return to making.
Small Repairs became more than a prototype for me. It became a small repair of my own.
Tell me what you think about this.
this is beautiful!

7 DAYS LEFT ⏳
Jumped into the Figma’s Config Makeathon to finally build the idea that's been living rent-free in my head:
A community app where AI transforms tired public spaces into before/after visions. Vote, remix, repeat.
First design's done. What do you think?
ok this is looking so sharp 👀
Hey everyone!
I made Meadow🙌 — a small, shared corner to step out of the world for a minute.
Some days the world is just a lot. Meadow is a small, shared corner to step out of it for a minute.
It's a living garden grown by strangers — every flower in it was built, petal by petal, by a real person somewhere, and the field keeps growing with each one. Make your own bloom from scratch: shape the petals, choose the colors, set its height, give the stem its own curve and leaves. Plant it, and it joins the meadow for the next person to find.
Flowers growing close together slowly cross-pollinate, blending traits with their neighbors — so the garden quietly evolves on its own, untended. Go still, and tiny creatures wander out to rest on the petals. Hover, and the others lean aside to let one shine. When it looks beautiful, snap a picture to keep or share.
Built entirely in Figma Make with a Supabase backend: a procedural flower engine generates every bloom from its own set of traits, so no two are ever alike — and because the meadow is a shared, persistent garden, every flower you and strangers plant stays in the field as it grows, without limit.
A calm place, made by many hands.
Come along plant a flower
