Ansia is an original digital painting created in Procreate, available for sale through ARCh in multiple sizes and materials. Bold and psychologically charged, the work lays bare anxieties and fears on the surface of the canvas, acting as a visual fear-catcher. A cathartic and powerful presence for any wall.

Amazing!
The PottryMake (A canavs tool but for vase design)
The Problem
Before physically crafting pottery, there is no accessible, easy-to-use tool for creators to design their art and visualize exactly how the finished piece will look placed in a real room. Traditional 3D software is too complex, creating a massive barrier to quick, creative ideation.
The Solution
We built a seamless design tool that eliminates the learning curve by adopting the familiar, universally loved interface of Figma. Users can effortlessly create and apply their art to pottery shapes, and instantly preview realistic "in-room" renders to see the final vibe bridging the gap between a digital design and a real-world physical object.
How We Used Figma's Ecosystem
Figma Weave (The Game Changer): Used extensively to dynamically generate custom SVGs and high-quality room-render images as assets. Weave drastically reduced the friction of asset creation, keeping the workflow entirely uninterrupted.
Familiar UI/UX: Designed natively utilizing a premium Dark Mode system with structural cues from UI3. If you know Figma, you already know how to use this tool.
Figma Make: Powered the core React state management and canvas logic without relying on any external web builders.
Key Features
Zero Learning Curve: A highly intuitive, Figma-like infinite canvas that makes designing feel like second nature.
In-Room Visualization: Preview your custom ceramic designs placed realistically in various room environments before bringing them to life.
Frictionless Asset Creation: Instant generation of vector patterns and render backgrounds powered directly by Figma Weave.

This is great! Don't forget to share it to Instagram, X, or LinkedIn with #ConfigMakeathon and @figma, and check the guidelines to make sure your submission is complete before the deadline!
I’ve been interested in bringing more analog elements into my design process—not only to add more visual interest, but also to help me step away from my computer screen, which can feel draining at times.
With that idea in mind, I started scanning and collecting all the little bits and pieces I’ve gathered over the past few years—from magazines to metro and museum tickets.
It’s been fun to revisit those moments and to take little breaks from my desk to walk over to the scanner while I’m designing.
Here are a few examples from that exercise! 🙂
The metro and museum tickets are a nice touch. There's something about ephemera like that which carries a texture and context that stock imagery never can. How are you compositing them in Photoshop, scanning flat or photographing?
