Last year, I won a life-changing amount of money.
When I first saw this screen pop up I literally thought that someone had stolen my project AND was impersonating me. I had entered feeling so excited about my idea, but not at all thinking I would win (never mind the $50,000!!).
WEB POETRY is still one of my favourite ever projects and I am so, so excited that someone else is going to get to experience the same craziness I did <3
There's $100,000 up for grabs right now in the 2026 Figma Makeathon, running through to the 2nd of March. If you needed a sign to submit something, this is it.
Enter HERE <3

Hi Community!
So, I’ve been exploring Figma Make during the initial planning process in designing a website. It feels like a good tool to explore a rough idea in real-time.
I like it - being able to iterate so quickly.
🚀 A tip from me would be to add it to your exploration process - it definitely makes it more fun.
Has anyone else added this to their workflow yet? 🧠
Love how Contra's community is providing tangible insights!
If websites came with a care label, what would yours say? 🤔
I've been thinking about how micrographics, those small labels usually found on packaging or clothing tags, could translate to the web.
As web designers and developers, we know there is *so* much invisible thinking behind a site: structure, performance, accessibility, content systems… and we rarely see it. 👀
As builders, we think about these things constantly, but users rarely see them. Maybe there’s value in making the craft more legible.
What do you guys think? 💭
This is such a fun concept. The care label idea makes all that invisible work visible in a really clever way. "Reduced motion safe" and "92 Lighthouse" on a tag would tell you so much about how thoughtfully a site was built. Would love to see this become a real thing designers actually share with clients.
My current AI powered workflow as a designer and non native English speaker:
→ I use ChatGPT’s Memory as my operational brain. I fed it my pricing, deliverables and feedback rounds, so when I draft complex client emails, I’m not starting from zero. I edit everything, ✨always✨.
I’m fluent in English, but it helps me catch small grammar or spelling details for extra credibility.
→ When I find myself spending hours 🫠 searching for the perfect packaging mockup I turn to Adobe Firefly to create them. The Nano Banana integration is honestly amazing.
What’s actually working? AI removes admin noise and speeds up exploration although it’s terrible at taste. Strategy and design are still human work.
Which part of your workflow has AI genuinely improved, and which part would you never hand over?
Very thoughtful workflow approach. Curious — what aspect of your process improved the most after structuring memory this way?

Micrographics started as utility - barcodes, packaging, instruction labels. How would you use them?
