I'm working with a client to create new packaging, and one of the things I've noticed helped us a lot is making it in 3D. Rather than working with test prints, I've been able to just showcase each idea within minutes and help us make quick decisions, cutting down development time significantly.
Has anyone else ended up using a skill they've learned for something completely different?

What if minimalism isn’t less — but more intentional?
This is COCO — a finished packaging system built on restraint.
Clean hierarchy, deliberate typography, purposeful whitespace,reduced elements.
But the key shift is here:
→ material becomes the design.
→ The aluminum isn’t just a container
it defines the color, the light, the presence.
A few intentional decisions:
1. Removing everything that didn’t carry meaning
2. letting hierarchy guide instead of decorate
3. treating material as the primary visual layer
For me, minimalism is not less design —
it’s more attention to every detail.
Great!!
Google Stitch — A Designer's Honest Take (Part 2/2)
Last time I covered what works. Now the honest part. 👇
❌ The Gaps
UI output quality isn't groundbreaking
Other platforms aren't far behind, and their outputs are more immediately usable beyond just visuals. Stitch only generates UI, the HTML/CSS export exists, but it's basic and not production-ready.
So who is this actually for?
Stitch isn't trying to replace designers, and it's not quite ready to hand developers production code either. It sits in a sweet spot: rapid ideation with a real design system behind it.
If you're a freelance designer, this shaves hours off early-stage concepting and client presentations. If you're a developer hoping to skip the design phase entirely — not yet.
Threat? No.
Tool? Yes, if you know where to use it.
Can a browser handle a full 3D Battle-Race? 🏎️💥
I challenged myself to build a complete 3D Game Experience 100% natively in Omma for the Buildathon! 🚀
What’s inside:
🛸 Interactive Showroom: Explore futuristic vehicles in a full 3D view.
🏆 Progression System: Choose and unlock levels with unique environments.
⚔️ Dual-Mode Gameplay: Switch between Realistic Racing (AI competition) and high-octane Battle Mode (with weapon transformations!).
The goal was to push the boundaries of what's possible in web-based 3D.
🕹️ Play the Prototype Live: https://omma.build/p/game-style-prompt-system-guide-g9k22s
Let me know your thoughts on the Battle Mode! 👇
it would be a lot more fun if you add turning points and more visible tracks using Omma!
