Most people look at a home screen and see a layout. I see a conversation between the product and the user.
When I designed Craftly a marketplace for Nigerian creators, caterers, and artisans the first question I asked wasn't "what should this look like?" It was "who is coming to this screen and what do they need to feel in the first 3 seconds?"
Two users. Two cards. Two colours. Purple slows you down. Amber moves you forward. Colour as navigation, not decoration.
The full-bleed photography on the category page triggers appetite before a user reads a single price. The "continue where you left off" component exists because marketplace decisions take days, not minutes.
This is what I mean when I say I don't design screens. I design decisions

I designed EyeText šļø, an eye-controlled communication experience for people who have difficulty speaking or using their hands.
Using eye tracking and intentional blinks, users can navigate a keyboard, create messages, and convert them into speech. The experience also includes personalized calibration and quick communication cards for everyday needs.
What excites me most about this project is how quickly an idea became reality. Using Figma Make, I was able to transform a concept into a working interactive experience with a single prompt.
Design, accessibility, and technology coming together to help people express themselves.

This hero section background lowered my cortisol, great work Nigar!
The brief was mine.
The constraints were real.
OLIVI is a branding and UI/UX studio identity built without a client, which meant no excuses.

Amazing!
Little Voices is a keepsake of your kid's voice. It's for the silly, fleeting, unrepeatable bits, before they grow out of them. https://littlevoices.figma.site
I have thousands of photos and videos of my daughter, but barely any recordings of her voice. Voice memos get buried in a list, and I hardly go back to them. As she grows up , sheās changing faster than I can hold on to her.
So I built Little Voices for the Config Makeathon, but maybe more so for myself, and other parents who might feel the same way.
I've been using it with my daughter, and she loves hearing her own voice. She keeps becoming someone new, and now I get to hear every version of her, whenever I want.
What it does:
š¤ Catch a moment in seconds
š Each memory becomes a storybook card, marked by the age your kid was when you caught it
Ā šļøĀ Sift through the pile, browse by age like a time capsule, or search by keywords
š Prompts to help when you draw a blank
š See how often you record, gently ā no streaks, no guilt
š§ A separate collection for each kid
How I built it:
šØ Figma Weave for the card art. I built a repeatable workflow that generated dozens of cards in a consistent style, instead of prompting one at a time.
āØ Figma Agents for design exploration and a simple design system. Figma-native agents felt like a true design collaborator that understood my context ā directly fine-tuning iterated designs was what was missing in my Claude Code / Figma MCP workflows.
š§± Figma Make to put it all together. The trick: ask it for a plan before executing anything. Reviewing the plan first meant the component came out right the first time, instead of three rebuilds later.
If you have your own version of this in your life, tell me about it in the comments. š
Huge thanks to the Figma support team; I hit a publishing wall on both Sites and Community, and they personally unstuck both for me so I could ship this. This entry couldn't exist without them!

This is a great example of creative problem-solving. The final experience feels very polished.
