Make Google Workspace Automation for Gmail and Sheets
I built Make automation workflows that connect Google Workspace tools so teams can reduce copy-paste work and keep information moving between Gmail, Google Sheets, and business processes.
Problem
Teams often spend time moving data from emails into spreadsheets or checking tools manually.
Solution
I created Make workflows that connect Gmail and Google Sheets so information can be captured, organized, and routed automatically.
What it does
Captures useful information from Gmail
Sends or organizes data into Google Sheets
Triggers follow-up actions based on workflow logic
Reduces manual copy-paste and checking
Keeps repeated admin processes more consistent
Tools used
Make, Gmail, Google Sheets, Google Workspace automation, workflow integration.
Outcome
The workflow helps reduce repeated admin work, improves data organization, and makes Google Workspace processes easier to manage.

Sayless | Smart Home & AI Website Design 💻
These are the three pillars I got to work with on the Sayless project, and honestly, it's one of my favorite intersections in design right now.
Designing for the smart home and automation space is a unique challenge. You're translating invisible technology into something people can feel, understand, and trust. The product is complex. The communication has to be simple.
For Sayless, I led the project from research to launch, competitor analysis, user flow mapping, wireframes, and final design. The goal was clear: a website that doesn't just look good, but actually works as a business tool.
This is the kind of project that reminds me why I love what I do. 🖤

Such an amazing result, love how it turned out! 🔥
Salon Appointment Booking Automation
This automation workflow makes the entire client scheduling journey using n8n, OpenAI, and Google Sheets. The process begins when a client interacts with the salon’s chat interface, where an AI Agent leverages simple memory to recognise returning customers and provide personalised service recommendations.
Figma Make isn't just a prototyping tool. I used it to ship a Claude-powered design system generator.
Most designers treat Figma Make as a quick vibe-coding sketchpad. I wanted to show it's something deeper — a full vibe-coding platform that integrates with external APIs.
The connection nobody writes about
There are three ways Claude connects to Figma today. Figma MCP — Claude reads and writes Figma files via MCP server. Figma's built-in AI — Figma calls its own models internally. And mine — a React app inside Figma Make that calls Claude API directly from the browser. Claude responds to the code, not to Figma. Figma Make is the hosting.
The new pipeline
Old approach: get brandbook and references from client → generate moodboard → align → write prompts for UI Kit. Separate steps, human in the center every time.
My approach: collapse all of that into one step. Run an AI analysis and output structured data — input for machines, not a result for humans.
We don't ask AI how the brand looks. We run an MRI on it and get structured data that machines use to build code.
What gets generated
11 files, all consistent with each other because they share one analysis. For Figma specifically:
tokens.json — W3C DTCG 3-tier format (primitive → semantic → component), imports directly into Figma Variables via Tokens Studio or Figma Make prompt
design-system.css — all tokens as CSS custom properties, ready to import
starter.tsx — paste into Figma Make, full design system renders instantly
figma-make.md — session context, paste once and the AI knows the entire design system
Add a content plan on top — generate a full design in one run with minimal token spend.
The entire tool was built and shipped inside Figma Make. No external hosting. No separate codebase.

tNot gonna lie, I opened this out of curiosity and left with more questions than answers 😅 But that's usually a good sign. Really interesting exploration of what design workflows might look like in the AI era. And by the way, this link doesn't work figma-make.md
