Updated my cover video now. Added my creative challenge design and real work. What do you think?
oh so cool!
looks amazing! Just curious are most of these animations done in Jitter? I'm looking to add more animations to my portfolio but want to try something different from after effects.
Only jitter here :)

Here is my submission for the #makeathon
FocusDock is a calming focus timer designed for work, study, reading, and deep focus sessions.
https://detach-lime-09329627.figma.site/
The idea started from a simple problem: most focus timers are functional, but they don’t feel personal or emotionally engaging. I wanted to create a timer that feels more like a small ritual, choosing your environment, placing your clock, setting the mood, and starting a focused session with intention.
With FocusDock, users can:
Choose a focus duration
Pick from different illustrated desk, shelf, and table backgrounds
Select a clock style
Place the clock naturally inside the scene
Start a clean, distraction-free focus session
Use ambient sounds or music to support concentration
The design direction is soft, calm, and minimal, using 2D illustrated backgrounds with clear surfaces where the clock can sit naturally. The goal is to make the clock feel like an object inside the workspace, not just a floating timer UI.
I’m using Figma’s suite of tools to explore the visual system, generate the interface direction, and build the interactive prototype with Figma Make. A big part of the challenge is making the experience feel polished: smooth transitions, thoughtful placement, responsive layouts, and a focus flow that feels simple but meaningful.
For me, this project is about turning time management into a calmer, more intentional experience.

Last Seen - Places disappear. Their stories don't have to.
Last Seen is an archive of lost places and the memories people left behind. A living record of the places that shaped us, before they disappear from memory as completely as they have from maps.
The research
Before writing a line of code I posted to Reddit. "What closed place do you still think about?" Three subreddits. Three cities. 217,000 views. 1,652 replies. The Astoria. Shunt Vaults. CBGB. Florent. The problem was real before I built anything.
The Figma workflow
Figma Weave generated the visual language, aged paper textures, film grain overlays, archival map treatments. The Design Agent built the complete design system from a single prompt, colour styles, typography, eight components, page layouts, brand guidelines. The result is a 16-frame horizontal brand identity deck published to the Figma Community.
Two Figma Make widgets built and published to Community, Memory of the Day and Still Here, pulling real memories from a live Supabase database in real time.
The product
Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind, Supabase, Mapbox GL JS, Vercel. 103 places across five cities. A heatmap showing where memory concentrates across continents. Real memories from real people. An admin queue, rate limiting, auto-geocoding, profanity filtering, i18n across six languages.
825 unique visitors in three days. The archive keeps growing.
The workflow
Reddit validation, Figma Weave, Design Agent, Figma Make, live product. In 24 hours.
