Building a Notion workspace for a software company is very different from building a standard project manager.
Ash, the co-founder of Kenshi Security, wanted one place where engineering, marketing, leadership, and business operations could finally work together.
We spent two weeks turning that vision into reality.
The finished workspace automatically syncs GitHub commits and bug reports into Notion using Make.com, tracks developer performance, manages KPIs, organizes investor updates, powers marketing campaigns, and gives leadership one dashboard to monitor the entire business.
The best part wasn’t the automation. It was seeing a complex operation become simple enough for every team to use with confidence.
Projects like this remind me that the best Notion systems aren’t just databases. They’re designed around how people actually work.
Have you ever wished your entire business could run from one connected workspace?

How do you design a product for developers when you're not the end user yourself?
That was the challenge behind Kuberly — a cloud automation platform built from scratch for teams managing AWS and Kubernetes infrastructure.
This project taught me that great product design isn't about knowing all the answers. It's about asking the right questions, learning the domain, and transforming complexity into clarity.

This is a beautiful example of how deep research can bridge the gap when you aren't the target user. The visual hierarchy on these server and cluster states looks remarkably intuitive and precise. Exceptional work! 🚀
Figma Make isn't just a prototyping tool. I used it to ship a Claude-powered design system generator.
Most designers treat Figma Make as a quick vibe-coding sketchpad. I wanted to show it's something deeper — a full vibe-coding platform that integrates with external APIs.
The connection nobody writes about
There are three ways Claude connects to Figma today. Figma MCP — Claude reads and writes Figma files via MCP server. Figma's built-in AI — Figma calls its own models internally. And mine — a React app inside Figma Make that calls Claude API directly from the browser. Claude responds to the code, not to Figma. Figma Make is the hosting.
The new pipeline
Old approach: get brandbook and references from client → generate moodboard → align → write prompts for UI Kit. Separate steps, human in the center every time.
My approach: collapse all of that into one step. Run an AI analysis and output structured data — input for machines, not a result for humans.
We don't ask AI how the brand looks. We run an MRI on it and get structured data that machines use to build code.
What gets generated
11 files, all consistent with each other because they share one analysis. For Figma specifically:
tokens.json — W3C DTCG 3-tier format (primitive → semantic → component), imports directly into Figma Variables via Tokens Studio or Figma Make prompt
design-system.css — all tokens as CSS custom properties, ready to import
starter.tsx — paste into Figma Make, full design system renders instantly
figma-make.md — session context, paste once and the AI knows the entire design system
Add a content plan on top — generate a full design in one run with minimal token spend.
The entire tool was built and shipped inside Figma Make. No external hosting. No separate codebase.

tNot gonna lie, I opened this out of curiosity and left with more questions than answers 😅 But that's usually a good sign. Really interesting exploration of what design workflows might look like in the AI era. And by the way, this link doesn't work figma-make.md
