Face Paint is a digital face paint prototyping platform that lets users design, experiment, and preview face paint virtually before touching their skin. By combining facial alignment guides and live AR preview, users can confidently explore creative ideas without the trial-and-error of physical application.
Problem:
I've always loved face painting, but as someone with skin allergies, I've rarely been able to enjoy it. Through conversations with face painting & cosplay communities, I found many others also avoid it due to skin concerns or uncertainty about how a design will look before applying it. Traditional face painting often involves trial and error, which can lead to wasted materials, discomfort, and frustration.
Solution:
Face Paint is a digital face paint prototyping platform that allows users to create and preview face paint designs before applying anything to their skin.
Impact:
This tool makes face art more accessible for people with sensitive skin, reduces material waste, and helps artists & creators make decisions faster. It enables anyone to explore face painting safely, confidently, and creatively in a digital-first way.

Art That Speaks — Artist Portfolio Website (Work in Progress)
Currently working on a portfolio website for Ukrainian artist Konstantin Poddubko. The project is designed to showcase his artwork through a clean, minimal interface where the paintings remain the primary focus.
At this stage, I am developing and refining the interactive prototype in Figma, experimenting with transitions, animations, and user flows to create a seamless browsing experience. The website will guide visitors through the artist's biography, gallery, exhibitions, and selected works.
My goal is to combine elegance, simplicity, and subtle motion to create an immersive digital space where art can truly speak for itself. More updates coming soon as the project evolves.
There's something very calming about this. The design feels like a natural extension of the artwork, and the music ties everything together beautifully. Excited to see where this goes 😍
Memory Bank is a private family app designed to capture the small moments that usually get lost.
We take thousands of photos every year, but the little things often disappear: a note before a test, a flower picked on the way home from school, a funny photo of the family cat, or a simple “good luck” message from a parent.
Memory Bank gives families a shared space where they can add photos, notes, and emojis throughout the day. These contributions form a collaborative daily memory that lives on the home screen as a widget.
At midnight, the day’s memory is automatically captured as a Polaroid and saved to a family archive. Over time, families build a collection of memories together, one day at a time.
For this project, I wanted to experiment with a different design workflow.
Instead of starting in Figma, I used Codex and the Build-iOS-App workflow to generate a working Swift prototype first. My goal was to validate the interaction and product flow before investing time in visual design.
Once the concept felt promising, I used Figma MCP to bring the app screens into Figma, where I explored different visual directions, refined the user experience, and iterated on the overall concept.
I then used Figma Make to prototype key interactions and validate the experience before bringing those improvements back into the app.
Finally, I created the launch trailer and supporting assets using Hyperframes, Codex, and Figma MCP, allowing me to iterate on both the visual design and the story as the concept evolved.
The result was a workflow that felt much more fluid than the traditional path of Idea → Design → Prototype → Build.
Instead, the project evolved through a continuous loop of Idea → Prototype → Figma → Prototype → Launch.
Memory Bank started as a Makeathon experiment, but quickly became something I genuinely want to build for my own family.
