Weekend is almost here ✨
A little reminder for all designers, developers, and creatives: it's okay to step away from the laptop and give your fingers a rest 😅
We spend so much of our time creating, solving problems, moving pixels, answering messages, and jumping between tasks that it's easy to forget how important it is to recharge.
I've noticed that some of my best ideas come when I'm not sitting in front of a screen at all.
Personally, I love hiking in the mountains and practicing yoga. Both help me slow down, clear my mind, reconnect with myself, and come back to work with fresh energy and a new perspective.
This weekend I'm planning to spend a little less time with my laptop and a little more time outside.
What about you?
How do you disconnect and recharge after a busy week? Do you have a favorite hobby, ritual, or weekend activity that helps you reset? 👇🤍
Wow, what a magic
beauty😍🏔️
omg I definitely need to go somewhere this weekend, than you for this reminder 😍
o my god, its so aestetic and warm😍
You’re 100% right! 💙
Such a lovely reminder! Balance is everything. I actually started my Saturday morning like a rocket — just published my new UI/UX case study and put a fresh batch of homemade cookies into the oven! Now the house smells amazing, and I’m ready to close the laptop and enjoy the...

recently, I’ve also made it a rule: weekends are sacred, work-free time. time for myself
What a fairytale😍
This weekend I'm going to chill at home with my family
This resonates a lot with me.
I’ve noticed that when I step away from the screen for a while, I often come back with fresh ideas and a clearer perspective.
😍 😍 😍
I can relate to this a lot.
As designers, we're trained to observe patterns everywhere, so sometimes the best ideas appear when we're not actively looking for them.
I'm curious — have you ever come back from a hike or yoga session and completely changed your approach to a design problem?
So true🤝🏻

For the #ConfigMakeathon, I created Book Trace. It is a reading journal app that helps you capture thoughts while you read, and leave a personal trace when you finish.
[Concept]
Book Trace turns the experience of reading into something you can hold onto. Instead of forgetting what a book meant to you, you leave a Trace — one sentence, one emotion, one word. The app also reads what you wrote and tells you what kind of reader you are, with book recommendations matched to your type and genre.
[Project Overview]
For this submission, I designed:
- Onboarding flow;
- Still Reading experience with in-the-moment note capture;
- Finished flow with the full Trace journey;
- Reader Identity system with personalized recommendations;
- Library with saved traces;
- UI Kit and design system.
[Workflow]
I built the full product from concept to prototype in Figma. UI Kit, component library, and interactive flows all in one file.
[My Experience]
What I loved most about this challenge was how it pushed me to think about the full user journey, not just screens, but emotions. Book Trace started as a simple idea and grew into something that feels genuinely personal.
Figma made it possible to move from rough concept to polished prototype without ever leaving the workspace.
Thank you to the Figma team for a challenge that made me build something I actually want to use!

Amazing!
This weekend I made elderflower cordial from the tree in my garden, and the first apples are starting to blush!
What are your goals for summer? Mine are:
🌸 Find inspiration outside, away from screens
🌸 Cook as many new recipes as possible
🌸 Launch my own digital library

Fantastic work! The overall experience feels smooth, modern, and engaging.
I built Interactive Earth History Explorer for the Config Makeathon.
Interactive Earth History Explorer
The web app allows users to travel through Earth's history by scrolling through a timeline and interacting with a 3D globe. Users can explore:
Geological eras and major Earth events
The evolution of life on Earth
Ancient civilizations and historical milestones
Important locations associated with historical events
Multimedia content such as images, animations, and descriptions
—————————
Target Users
Students and educators
History enthusiasts
Parents looking for interactive learning tools
—————————
Traditional methods of learning history and geology are often:
Text-heavy and difficult to visualize
Presented as static timelines that lack interactivity
Disconnected from geographical context
——————————
Solution
The web application provides an immersive and interactive learning experience by combining:
🌍 Interactive 3D Globe, 📅 Scrollable Timeline, 🖼 Rich Content Cards, ✨ Immersive Storytelling
————————
My process: Pen and paper → Figma make → Using Figma make to generate ideas → Prompting it out as perfectly as I can get it to work → Connected to Figma server → Deployed
