To celebrate this year's @Figma 2026 Config and as part of the first #ConfigMakeathon I have built Figma's ABC.
Learn the Figmalphabet, the immersive and playful way. As a teacher, I always show my students the same basic features, so I built a way to learn Figma little by little.
A to Z, every letter a feature.
Handcrafted content, real resources, tips, and hands-on interactions, all in one place.
Built entirely in Figma.
Music is Prelude in C Major by Johann Sebastian Bach, played and rearranged by me.

I also made a pin for every letter. Come grab yours in San Francisco.
Happy Config and see you there!

Quality matters 📖 PROJECT MANIFESTO: A LITTLE LIFE https://www.figma.com/proto/fr8Z2zciI0DKmyQR9TLFGc/The-little-life-.?node-id=57-108737&p=f&t=1ikrY54EW6XhWYhp-0&scaling=min-zoom&content-scaling=fixed&page-id=0%3A1
"Technology that remembers how humans love."
THE VISION: Beyond the Digital Graveyard
We are currently living in a "Digital Memory Decay." Our most precious moments are buried in the infinite, sterile scroll of a camera roll—a graveyard of pixels. A Little Life is the antidote. It is a Cinematic Memory Operating System, a digital reliquary designed to treat a single coffee receipt with the same reverence as a wedding vow. It is not an app; it is a Sanctuary.
THE DESIGN DNA: Tactile Magic Realism
The project is built on the philosophy of Tactile Magic Realism. We have fused high-fidelity Skeuomorphism (physicality you can almost smell) with Elite Glassmorphism (digital intelligence).
The Artisan’s Workshop: The entire OS lives inside a master craftsman’s studio. Every interaction is grounded in wood, brass, velvet, and parchment.
The Memory Tailor: At the heart of the system is a 3D sprite—the Architect of Remembrance—who doesn't "upload" your files, but "stitches" them into the fabric of your life using golden threads of light.
The 3-Degree Rule: To preserve humanity, no element in the system is perfectly straight. Photos and tape are rotated 1.5 to 3.5 degrees, simulating the beautiful imperfection of a human hand.
THE FIVE ACTS OF REMEMBRANCE
The Sanctuary (Landing): A 32:9 cinematic view of a green velvet book, heavy with gold filigree, resting on an oak workbench.
The Atlas (Navigation): A 3D constellation of floating island biomes (Beach, Forest, Mountain) representing different life chapters.
The Composer (The Editor): An open scrapbook where users drag 3D pins and washi tape from a glass stationary drawer to craft their narrative.
The Fabrication (AI Modal): A cinematic sequence where the Memory Tailor uses a vintage brass film projector to synthesize life moments into movies.
The Palace (The Archive): A shared sea of golden liquid where users anchor "Wisdom Boards" to glowing clouds, sharing life lessons with the world.
🏔️ THE STRUGGLE: A 500KM ODYSSEY
This project was not built in a comfortable studio. It was born from a 500-kilometer journey.
To capture the soul of "A Little Life," I traveled 500 kilometers—seeking the exact textures of aged paper in ancient libraries, the specific way golden-hour light hits weathered wood, and the feeling of physical distance that only a long journey can provide.
The Struggle was Real:
Physical Exhaustion: Traveling 500km while balancing the technical complexity of Figma’s AI suite (Make, Weave, Agent).
The Creative Pivot: When tools failed, I didn't stop. I engineered a custom AI pipeline, using Gemini and manual high-fidelity layering to ensure the vision remained pure.
The Pursuit of Detail: Every brass pin, every fiber in the deckled-edge paper, and every shadow was calibrated to match the weight of the memories I encountered during my travels.
I didn't just design this; I lived it. The 500km I traveled is baked into every pixel. It represents the distance between a "file" and a "memory."
🛠️ THE FIGMA CONFIG MAKEATHON INNOVATION
This project pushes the boundaries of what is possible in Figma:
Figma Make: Used to synthesize the complex 32:9 OS overlays and glassmorphism components.
Figma Weave: Leveraged to generate the atmospheric "Workshop" and "Palace" environments.
Innovative Workflow: A unique hybrid pipeline where AI-generated concepts were manually deconstructed into 3D layers, then reconstructed in Figma with physics-based shadows and "Ambient Occlusion" logic.
"A Little Life" is my 500km promise to the world: that our stories are worth more than a scroll. They deserve a home.more than the quantity.
