At g&co we made some big updates for GPW Group website but the most important thing is something else. We've proven once again that small changes over the long term are much more effective than single, planned redesigns.

SaaS = Software as a Self-soothing
Instacalm -- because there's always things we cannot control in life. Within just a few hours using Figma Make I was able to spin up an app to instantly create a calming meditation practice through the one thing we can control: our breath.
I wanted to create something that was immediately usable and had zero learning curve so anyone could pick it up and chill-the-F-out in a matter of seconds.
Features:
- animated color theme and particles
- animated breath pacer for inhale & exhale cycles
- ambient background music
- optional affirmations
60 versions, 5 breath modes, 5 dark & light color themes, 5 soundscapes, and 80 affirmations later, there's a v1.0 Instacalm app. 😌 Enjoy.
Software as self-soothing’ is a powerful framing. Designing for nervous system regulation instead of productivity feels like a meaningful shift. The breath pacing + ambient layering makes it feel intentional rather than ornamental.
Grab the Bears - A Camera-Based Gesture Interaction
A few years ago, gesture interaction required a full engineering team and months of development.
For the Figma Makeathon, I built a working camera-controlled gesture game on my own - entirely in Figma Make.
Grab the Bears reimagines tap and swipe as physical gestures. Players use their right hand to grab floating bears in real time.
• Camera-driven embodied interaction
• Real-time gesture detection
• Animated UI + sound micro-interactions
• Dynamic result generation with shareable export?
Really impressive — camera-based interaction inside Figma Make is a leap. Curious how you handled gesture recognition latency and feedback loops? The micro-response timing probably makes or breaks the experience
My entry for the Figma Makeathon: Procedural Spring.
A procedural tree generator with default styles based on Figma colors and additional customization options.
You can control growth, sway, droop, and bloom through the camera or manually. Move to interact or fine tune every parameter yourself.
Minimal and slightly cozy. Hope you enjoy it!
Wonderful!
