Gut Reset Cookbook
Designed and wrote a complete recipe e-book for Clean Gut Co. — every recipe built around the "Pittsburgh test": real food, available at a standard grocery store, no specialty ingredients required. Research-backed, plain-language, and built to be the kind of thing someone actually opens and cooks from instead of saving and forgetting.

Digital assets often feel rigid and impersonal. The goal with Stamp & Seal Maker was to bring the tactile, premium feel of traditional, old-world correspondence into a modern digital workflow. I wanted to design an experience that feels less like a basic web tool and more like an artisanal studio where users can create something deeply personal.
What it Does and How to Use It
The app is a live, web-based utility that lets users design custom marks in under a minute with zero friction no accounts or sign-ups required. It offers two distinct tracks:
Antique Postage Stamps: Users can upload an image or portrait, add a digital signature, and instantly generate a vintage stamp complete with realistic perforated edges.
Custom Wax Seals: Users can pick a wax color and literally use their cursor to draw their own monogram, which renders into a realistic wax seal for digital letters.
Everything can be downloaded instantly as a high-quality, transparent PNG to use anywhere.
The Tools Used
To take this project from a concept to a functional, browser-ready site for the Figma Makeathon, I utilized three core parts of the ecosystem: Figma Design, Figma Weave and Figma Make
You can interact with the live tool and create your own handcrafted mark using the link below. https://trunk-tint-40276432.figma.site
The wax seal track where you draw your own monogram with a cursor is a really clever idea. That kind of tactile interaction in a browser tool is hard to pull off without feeling gimmicky.
A week ago, I asked myself a simple question:
How do you actually train your design eye?
As a Webflow & Framer developer, I spend a lot of time implementing design decisions. But I became curious about the thinking behind those decisions and whether my own instincts aligned with experienced designers.
So I built EyeCheck.
A design perception experiment that explores typography, spacing, hierarchy, color, imagery, and visual judgment through a series of challenges.
What surprised me most while building it wasn't which answers people chose.
It was how often they disagreed.
Some decisions reached overwhelming consensus.
Others split almost perfectly down the middle.
And those conversations ended up being far more interesting than finding a "correct" answer.
Built for the #ConfigMakeathon using Figma.
I'd love to know:
Which question challenged your instincts the most?
#ConfigMakeathon #Figma #ProductDesign #WebDesign #UXDesign #DesignSystems
How often they disagreed' — that's the real insight. Design perception is rarely black and white. Brilliant experiment!
