Designing AI chatbots looks easy, but it’s more than building a simple message-in, message-out interface.
The real work happens in intent design, error handling, and designing the pathways that prevent users from getting stuck.

Imagine treating scroll like an instrument, not a wheel.
For #FigmaMakeathon I built ScrollFolio in #FigmaMake. A scroll focus portfolio where scrolling and mousing becomes navigation, pacing, and focus, with “sticky” moments that lock in and release cleanly. Also works with simple keys (← → ↑ ↓ and Spacebar) to open/close items.
I leaned into what Make is good at: fast iteration on interaction timing, responsiveness, and polish. The goal wasn’t a static layout, it was a working fast interaction that feels physical across devices in a single view.
Published project on Desktop and Mobile (has it's own swipe integrations): https://scrollfolio.figma.site
We have yes. We have no. We have maybe
But nobody ever asks how close to yes your maybe actually is.
Every decision we make gets forced into a binary. Pick a side. Check a box. Move on. But real positions don't live in boxes. They live somewhere on a spectrum between two extremes.
Where Do You Stand is a cultural calibration interface that finds exactly where you are on that spectrum.
You drag a card. The entire interface transforms around you continuously in real time ; color, typography, spacing, motion, atmosphere, all shifting under your hand based on exactly where you are. Not after you release. During the drag. The transformation lives in the movement itself.
It works for design questions. Life questions. Technology questions. Any tension where the answer is between two extremes.
That spectrum is where most real user decisions live. Binary choices simplify systems, but they rarely capture intent. Designing for gradients instead of boxes is where things get interesting.
Hold to Think — The 2025 Interaction
The first interaction designed to make you smarter, not faster.
This is my submission for the Figma Makeathon challenge.
Every iconic interaction was built for speed. Swipe. Scroll. Tap. Nobody ever designed one for thinking.
Hold to Think reimagines the long-press into an intelligent decision layer. You hold a button. A ring grows. The interface surfaces what you need to know. Then you decide.

Four scenarios — Social, Shopping, Messaging, Deleting — all smarter with one hold.
Built entirely in Figma Make.
Every interaction made you faster. This one makes you smarter.

This is a powerful shift in interaction philosophy. Designing for cognition instead of speed could fundamentally change how we measure UX success. Curious how you tested user response to slower, intentional interactions?
