👀 What do you do when you get a hyperfixation, and suddenly all you do is refresh Contra, check notifications, and obsess over engagement on your Makeathon submission? Anyone else like this? 😅😅😅
Honestly, you might have noticed I’ve been a bit quiet with my growth updates lately — and that’s because for the past 2 weeks I was fully locked in on the #ConfigMakeathon 🥵
(I’ll also attach a screen recording in this post showing how to use the Skill Matrix for anyone who’s interested)
But today I’m back with a quick update to distract myself a little

As someone who's capable of opening the same analytics page 37 times a day, I refuse to judge 😄
What I find interesting is how quickly you've grown in less than two months. Was there a moment when you noticed a clear shift in traction, or did it feel more like a slow accumulation of small wins?
Title:
I built a design system generator inside Figma Make. Here's the workflow.
The problem I kept running into: every new client project meant re-explaining the brand to every AI tool from scratch. Figma Make didn't know the colors. Cursor didn't know the tokens. Claude didn't know the rules. I was the shared memory — and I kept losing things.
So I built Design System Gen. Entirely inside Figma Make. Powered by Claude API.
The workflow:
Upload brand references → Claude API analyzes them across 8 dimensions (palette, mood, typography, composition, lighting, texture, motion, UI DNA) → structured data, not vibes → generates 11 files, each formatted for a specific tool in your stack.
figma-make.md → paste once, Figma Make knows your entire design system
design-system.css → all tokens as CSS custom properties
tokens.json → W3C format, imports directly into Figma Variables
starter.tsx → React starter with tokens already bound
.cursorrules → Cursor knows your system from root
Claude.md → Claude reads it automatically every session
+ 5 more for docs, LLMs, prompts, components
Every tool gets its own context file. All consistent with each other.
The part I'm most proud of: I'm a designer. I don't write code. The entire tool — UI, API integration, file generation logic — was built and shipped inside Figma Make. No external hosting. No separate codebase.

As someone who constantly jumps between Figma, Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Lovable, and other AI tools, this problem feels very familiar 😅
The tools are getting smarter, but keeping context consistent is still surprisingly manual. Love seeing people tackle that gap.
Another project from my early days of learning Figma and exploring mobile e-commerce design. 🌿
This plant store app concept features a product catalog, product details screen, shopping cart, and a loading screen. Working on this project allowed me to practice mobile UI design and gain a better understanding of user flows within e-commerce experiences.
