Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about how fast the line between design and code is moving.
More and more, teams don’t look for ultra‑specialists, but hybrid profiles: designers who code, creative devs, design engineers.
On some projects, Figma is no longer the “source of truth”, the code is.
Some interfaces are even designed directly in code with AI agents, and brand systems are built as living, reusable systems instead of static guidelines.
Curious where you are on that spectrum:
– Do you design in Figma first, or straight in code?
– Do you see this hybrid approach as an opportunity or a drift in our jobs?

My Figma Make project Observer Effect 👀✨
uses eye-tracking to show how observation turns into activation, and follows my fascination with Quantum Theory.
I built the prototype simply by chatting with Figma Make AI, starting with a broad idea and iterating with a few of my own Figma UI references until a mind-blowing digital experience was ready to play with.
This can easily become an art installation unfolding a whole story lines through interactive observation. Observer observing the observed.
Have fun with it! 🤍
Find Observer Effect also on Figma Community and X platform.
This is exactly what i imagine when i meditate!
As a kid, I loved coloring inside drawings.
Not creating them — just bringing them to life.
So I built Parallel.
Two strangers enter the same canvas.
One can only draw.
One can only paint.
They move side by side.
Different roles.
One artwork.
You can’t complete it alone.

Built with:
• Real-time multiplayer support
• Live chat between strangers
• Role-restricted drawing system
• Replay & timelapse export
• Shareable view-only canvases
• Fully responsive vintage Mac-style design
Re-engineering Performance Through Interaction
This project reimagines the reveal of a high-performance car through interactive storytelling. I used Figma Make to prototype a cinematic product experience — from a bold exterior introduction to a scroll-activated engine explosion and a final immersive close. Every transition was crafted to feel deliberate, controlled, and mechanically precise.
Built entirely in Figma Make during the challenge window.
this is nice design
