The Brief Case
Every creative freelancer knows the spiral: How do I price this? Am I charging enough? What even is a profit margin? Pricing is one of the biggest bottlenecks in a freelancer's business — and it shouldn't be.
The Brief Case is a 3-step tool built entirely in Figma Make that takes a designer from zero to a client-ready proposal in under 5 minutes.
Step 1 — Know your number
An hourly rate calculator built on your real financial data: personal expenses, business costs, desired salary, and billable hours. No more guessing.
Step 2 — Build your project
A brief generator that structures your scope: deliverables, revision rounds, rush fees, contractor costs, installments, and timeline — all feeding into your pricing automatically.
Step 3 — Send with confidence
A clean, personalized, client-facing proposal with an interactive timeline and payment schedule built in. Profit margin stays private. Only the right numbers reach the client.
Workflow:
Built using Figma Make with iterative prompting, design system styles pulled from an existing Figma file, and a multi-step UI flow connecting all three stages.

Pricing should be empowering. Not vomit-inducing.

this is so peaceful - nice work!
I’ve created a Local Secret project to share local places with everybody else, hidden jams that you can find only in there.
I used Claude to brainstorm ideas, prompts, tools to use before jumping into Figma. And I used free plan for it.
After above, I’ve prepared 9 prompts that should give me the final result in #Figmamake but in reality it took me 72 prompts and almost 13,000 tokens for AI.
I’ve also connected Supabase for backend memory and Github for saving the code. It’s incredible what you can do!
With next iteration, I’ll fix the uploading of photos, however your secrets can be already shared with everybody.

I wanted to share in community but because it’s connected to Supabase, it’s not possible, so just a link for you to the file.
you can also find my app for freelancers on App Store called stePlan 🤘 Thank you for being an awesome community!
The simplicity here is what makes it powerful. Clean work.
Behind every visual identity is an emotion trying to be expressed.
Every brand, product, and creative idea carries a feeling behind it. Yet translating emotion into visual expression remains one of the most intuitive and subjective parts of the creative process.
Emotion Lab is an interactive creative playground that explores how emotions can become visual systems for creation.
Built around six emotional states, each experience unlocks its own curated visual language, featuring color palettes, gradient behaviors, and emotion-driven creative mechanics. Users can experiment, remix, and generate unique visual outcomes while staying true to the emotional character of the selected state.
Emotion Lab explores emotion not as inspiration, but as a creative framework.
