When I made my post last year, I was surprised by the level of support I received as a starter.
I later stopped posting but I never stopped designing.
I stepped back to properly optimize my profile, work on new projects ready for shipping, and intentionally build the soft skills that are essential but often ignored.
That meant learning the business side of products understanding the why:
Why should a user take any action, even on a well-refined UI?
Since then, I’ve been studying and still learning more about UX, documentation, and developer/stakeholder handoffs—making sure designs don’t just look good but work clearly across teams.
Here’s a recent session I’m working on: a review flow for a campus marketplace—simple, clear, minimal, and scannable.

😡😡 Figma Make CANNOT create a beautiful serious game!
I'm here to prove the opposite!
Hi guys, I'm Howard Le, a Game UXUI Designer. This is my 1st time using Figma Make, but I'm starting to love it immediately!
All of the UI design assets were made by me!
- Concept background art
- HUD, Cards, Diegetic UI, Spatial UI, Meta UI, Non-Meta UI.
- VFX, Animation
- And ofc, I've asked Figma Make to turn it into the real things by my stupid, dumb prompt.
I hope this game could help Figma Make pay more attention about Gaming UI Industry!
You can try my game (Desktop version) at: https://box-deer-99558619.figma.site/
Figma make uses opus and sonnet and gemini. They can all handle game logic using the canvas element. However the art can't be done through them because figma make doesn't allow it. If draw it yourself then all good.
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.
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!
