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!
This is nice work 👍 👍 👏 👏 👏
The Brief Case
Every creative freelancer knows the spiral: How do I price this? Am I charging enough? What even is a profit margin? Pricing is one of the biggest bottlenecks in a freelancer's business — and it shouldn't be.
The Brief Case is a 3-step tool built entirely in Figma Make that takes a designer from zero to a client-ready proposal in under 5 minutes.
Step 1 — Know your number
An hourly rate calculator built on your real financial data: personal expenses, business costs, desired salary, and billable hours. No more guessing.
Step 2 — Build your project
A brief generator that structures your scope: deliverables, revision rounds, rush fees, contractor costs, installments, and timeline — all feeding into your pricing automatically.
Step 3 — Send with confidence
A clean, personalized, client-facing proposal with an interactive timeline and payment schedule built in. Profit margin stays private. Only the right numbers reach the client.
Workflow:
Built using Figma Make with iterative prompting, design system styles pulled from an existing Figma file, and a multi-step UI flow connecting all three stages.

Pricing should be empowering. Not vomit-inducing.
Cool
Here's my submission for #ConfigMakeathon
'Budding' teaches kids storytelling. They author fun little storybooks, thanks to guidance specific to their unique stories.
Testing has been so fun! ☺️ Budding draws their quirky stories into pictures that kids can't wait to see. It even narrates their books out loud in goofy voices 🙃
Besides fun, I've noticed kids articulate so much better with Budding. They polish thoughts, grapple with figments, and even work through emotions to bring a better story to life. More than other activities, I see kids ponder and push for finer ideas. I'm delighted to see this develop their creative muscle so uniquely 🫶

Novel use: a unique processes needed for this project was the bulk generation of helpful yet consistent helper images. Each storytelling topic needed coherent ideas and guidance for the little authors. With almost 50 topics, this can quickly become very messy. Thanks to Figma Weave’s 'text iterators', I was able to do this right, and super clean! - I'll post a video for that here as well.
Here's a demo book I made with Budding! 🎩
