designed the seek/scrub interaction for Instagram in this one. The idea was simple, if you accidentally close a video or miss a clip, you shouldn't have to sit through the whole thing again just to get back to where you were. With this, you can seek and play instantly instead of waiting for playback to catch up, and if you miss the exact spot, going back is quick and painless instead of starting over from scratch.
Small interaction, but it removes a lot of friction from something people do constantly.

If you had to choose one option to present your brand without actually talking to the users, what would you choose?
Lately, I've been pushing myself to explore what's possible with Figma Motion and see just how far I can take animations without leaving Figma.
I recently came across a really smooth WhatsApp animation and thought, why not recreate it? So I challenged myself to build it from scratch, paying close attention to the timing, easing, and micro-interactions.
It's been a fun way to learn, experiment, and sharpen my motion design skills.
How do you think it turned out? 👀
I'd love to hear your feedback!

Animated visuals makes the user stay, while static will not attract much
Most check-ins ask how people feel. STARTFIELD asks what the room has capacity for.
Two minutes before a workshop or team session, a facilitator often has to decide whether to begin as planned, slow down, add context, or reduce the scope.
STARTFIELD turns three anonymous, temporary responses into a tactile collective field:
Ready to dive in
Need a slower start
Need context first
No names. No personal profiles. No historical tracking. No automated recommendation.
The field makes the group’s current capacity visible, while the final decision remains human.
Built as Day 12 of my 30 Days of Real Business Problems challenge, using Figma Make, original 3D token assets, and Animos for the presentation film.
The room resolves before the session begins.

How should a facilitator read the room without turning a check-in into surveillance?
No names and no historical tracking is what makes this actually usable instead of another mood tracker nobody trusts. My guess on your own question: as long as the field only shows aggregate state and resets every session, it stays a tool instead of a record. Did anyone in testing push back on that assumption anyway?
