Introducing PUNCH IT! 🎉
I'm so excited to share my final submission to the #ConfigMakeathon !!
The prompt was to create something that improves your life, community or world.
As an early career designer heading to Config next week, what I needed to improve was my networking anxiety 😅
So I built PUNCH IT! A digital business card that rewards networking.
When someone opens it, they get your contact info, portfolio, and LinkedIn.
Then they stamp it...anonymously, or with their own info for a future coffee chat.
Every stamp represents a real person you connected with.
If you want to be competitive, you can also collect cards from other people and add them to your collection (which is ranked based on number of punches 🫢)
The best part is that the app itself is the icebreaker. Asking someone to punch your card is a reason to talk.
It reframes networking from something you have to survive into something that actually feels like progress.
I started with sketches, built it out in Figma Make with a Supabase backend, and went through 126 versions before landing on the final version.
All in time for Config 2026, my first ever design conference!
You can make your own card at the live link below or leave a punch on MY card here: https://punch-it.figma.site/c/8arwxh

** Some extra features not mentioned in the walkthrough
- only you can edit / delete punches on your own card
- As long as you sign in on the same device you made the account with, you'll be signed in automatically!
- Designed for mobile, but works on desktop as well
this is so smart!
I built a digital postcard wall for every Config 2026 speaker. It's called Wall of Love.
Built the entire thing in Figma make , with stickers designed in Figma weave.
Every speaker has a card. You open it, flip it over, and leave a sticker on the back, your way of saying their talk made a difference.
I kept thinking about postcards. A card that gets passed around, written on, and stamped. That's what Config feels like.
Wall of Love is that. But the cards are digital, the stamps are stickers, and the hands are the entire design community.
The part I love most: come back after the conference and see what the community left behind. Every card tells a different story.
Go find your favorite speaker. Leave your mark. https://wall-of-love.figma.site/
Undertone: an animated background generator that exports to Next.js and drops onto your website in seconds ✨
I built Undertone, a website background generator.
A background is the undertone of a website, the texture and feeling underneath it all.
I got tired of coding them and burning through AI credits without getting the result I wanted. They all end up looking the same, and tiny details like the speed and the pauses are hard to change.
So I built Undertone: pick a feeling, customize everything, draw your own, then export straight to Next.js and drop it into your site in seconds. It's just text, so it stays light and loads fast.
Built in Figma Make for #ConfigMakeathon ✨

Exporting as plain text for performance is the right call. Most animated background solutions are either canvas-heavy or webGL and they kill Lighthouse scores. The 'pick a feeling' framing is also a smarter entry point than asking users to pick an effect type.
