I was working on the visual identity for the Ivy and wanted to experiment with stippling. Thousands of tiny dots forming an image. Simple enough as an idea. Figma had other plans. I tried plugins, but the number of SVG elements was too much. My laptop slowed down, and eventually the workflow became unusable. I remember thinking, "Why am I trying so hard to make this work inside Figma?" I didn't need another plugin. I needed a different tool. So I built one. It's called Stippling Studio. Nothing revolutionary. Just a tool that lets me experiment with the visual treatment I had in mind. But the experience stuck with me. For years, I learned to work around the limitations of my tools. Now I can sometimes build my way around them. https://stippling.pash.website/

So cool!!

A random little idea that I couldn't get out of my head ... 🥀

The idea? A virtual bathroom shelf where you can build your own skincare ritual by selecting products and watching them appear on the shelf.

I came across a Pinterest pin that inspired me and then used Figma to design the experience. I brought the design into Instant and used its AI features to help build the custom functionality. 

I have used Tailwind CSS before and know Shopify Liquid, which meant that I could refine the design and match it exactly how I'd envisioned it 🤗

More little experiments to come 💗

Green tiles as the bathroom wall with products appearing on the shelf is a fun way to sell a routine. Does the shelf save the combo so a customer can add it all to cart in one go?
