Hiring hasn’t changed much in decades.
Recruiters still scan resumes, scroll through tables, and rely on static filters.
So I asked:
What if hiring wasn’t about scanning resumes… but exploring talent?
For the hashtag#FigmaMakeathon, I built TheHireLens https://thehirelens.figma.site/, an interactive prototype that turns job descriptions into living skill galaxies.
Instead of ranking candidates in a list, recruiters see talent spatially.
Candidates orbit around required skills.
Shortlisting becomes intentional, not mechanical.
And AI explains every decision transparently.
This project explores how interaction design can reshape high-impact workflows like hiring.
Built entirely using Figma Make.

What if sending money felt a little more like giving a gift?
For Nova, I explored a banking app that brings payments, cards, and a bit of personality together. You can check your balance, browse recent transactions, send or request money, top up, and pay bills.
My favorite part is the digital postcard feature. Before sending a transfer, you can add a little illustrated card—a heart, a birthday greeting, or a playful character. A simple way to make birthday money or a thank-you feel more personal.
I carried that same 3D character into onboarding, pairing it with bold red gradients and large, clear payment details. There’s room for play, while the recipient and amount stay easy to check.
Would you add a postcard to a transfer? I’d love to know what occasion you’d use it for.

Both are strong. I lean towards the dark version, because the orange accent on the italic "guess." pops and the profile portrait gives it a more editorial, confident feel. The navy one reads a bit more corporate, which could suit a more conservative audience. Nice exploration!
Designed an AI research workspace where the agent plans the work and fills a sheet with cited sources as it goes.
Same screen, two modes. Which one would you work in all day? 👀

Keeping the research plan and cited results side by side is a useful way to make the agent’s work easier to inspect. I’d lean toward light mode for reading the table in daylight. How do you distinguish a verified source from one that still needs review?
