I spent 3 days building a cultural time travel experience for the Figma Makeathon (my first one btw) and I'm kind of obsessed with how it turned out.

"Nostalgia isn't a crime" is an interactive cultural archive covering the 80s, 90s, 2000s and 2020s. Each decade has its own visual identity, sounds, and atmosphere.

What's inside: — Cinematic intro with animated globe and starfield — 4 decades with unique typography, colors and sounds — Spotify playlists embedded per era — Easter egg facts on every card — A soul decade quiz with 6 archetypes and a concert ticket result you can share — Birth year personalizer with cultural data for every year from 1970 to 2010

Built entirely in Figma Make in 3 days. Fully responsive.

This is the kind of work I love to do 💕

Velour textures. Smooth jazz. Timeless style.

My submission for the Kittle Challenge — reimagining a watch ad with a velvet-soft aesthetic and late-night jazz vibes.

Sometimes the best way to sell time…is to slow it down.

Worth mentioning: I'm actually impressed with Kittl. The amount of video-editing work I had to do was wee. Kittl pretty much did the heavy-lifting.

Hey everyone!

I’m Kristina, a Product (UI/UX) Designer currently working for an event management startup.

I help founders and small businesses clarify their product, communicate their value, and turn that into digital experiences that actually convert. My background spans product design, UX strategy, and cross-functional collaboration with product and engineering teams.

I just joined Contra and am currently exploring how everything works here. It already looks like a really interesting community, and I’m excited to see the kinds of projects people collaborate on.

For those who’ve been here for a while — how did you get started on Contra? Any tips, things you wish you knew earlier, or advice for someone new to the platform?

I’d love to hear about your experiences!
