Hey Contra + Figma folks!

I'm Izzy from Lagos, Nigeria (@IsraelAdegbulu1). Just submitted Encarta Echo for the #FigmaMakeathon.

Goal: Bring back the joyful, exploratory feel of old Microsoft Encarta and make learning interactive, personal, and culture-shaping again by blending global knowledge with Afro-Nigerian heritage.

You start in a cosmic knowledge orb, search or tap a topic, and get immersive articles with AI-generated visuals, parallax timelines, hotspots, cultural remixes (Yoruba patterns, Afro-futurist twists), and a quick quiz.

Built fast with Figma Make: AI prompts for dynamic content, variables and conditionals for logic, scroll/hover interactions for smoothness. Link: https://encartayorubahistory.figma.site/

Exploring two concepts for a Kajabi product template.

A — Studio: light, spacious, and focused. B — Theater: dark, immersive, and video-first.

Which direction do you like best—and what would you change?

Meriot Netherlands-based product designer portfolio

I explored a portfolio website for Meriot, a product designer based in the Netherlands who wanted a digital presence that felt more personal, editorial, and design-focused.

The challenge was to avoid the typical portfolio formula and create something that communicates personality within the first few seconds.

The direction

→ Bold editorial typography → Strong personal photography → Minimal black-and-white foundation → Warm orange accent for CTAs → Simple, structured navigation → Clear positioning as a product designer → A portfolio experience that feels like a personal brand

The idea was to make the website feel confident without being complicated.

Rather than leading with a long introduction, the hero immediately communicates who Meriot is, what he does, and where the visitor should go next.
