Trazo - a small workout for your creativity:
It's just a stone. But it's also a crab, a snail, a happy face.
Depending on who's looking!
We all have AI tools at our fingertips. What changes the result isn't the tool - it's the creativity you bring to it. And that can be trained.
The idea:
Trazo gives you an ambiguous shape: a stone, a leaf, a crumpled ball of paper.
You rotate it, find something in it, and draw it out. You name what you saw.
Then it reveals what everyone else saw in that exact same shape. Same shape, a dozen different things.
Being creative isn't about drawing well. It's about seeing differently.
Built with:
🛠 Figma Make — full front-end
🛠 Supabase — real-time database for the shared interpretations
🛠 A custom canvas brush engine — pencil, marker & charcoal, built from scratch
What's next:
More shapes, more constraints to exercise your creative muscle.

Excited to submit "soundchecksf" a new and organic way to discovery live music.

Why this idea...I believe discovering new music these days is far too algorithmic. That said, taking a chance on seeing a live band you've never heard of has its own issues too. So I thought, what if I could build an experience that would simulate what it is like walking through an area only to hear a sound that pulls you in and creates a memory forever? This was very much inspired by what happened to me a few years back.
Enter...soundchecksf where you can take a stroll through a neighborhood and hear ACTUAL live music that's coming to a place near you! This updates every night 4amPST so you're bound to discover a new sound every time you come back.
How I built this...started with basically pen and paper (aka an app and Apple pen) quickly followed by planning and building a prototype with Claude. Then I used Figma Weave to build some assets and went into Figma Make to build key parts of this experience, one-by-one. After multiple rounds of polishing the UX, UI, the mobile experience, and ensuring I had accurate and functioning backend support...what has come out of all of this is something I'm proud to share.
Let me know what you think and wishing best of luck to all the other participants!
P.s For feasibility, UX, and credit reasons, I had to limit this to a few venues throughout certain neighborhoods in the Bay Area. Also, the artwork is loosely inspired by the place it's respresenting. I can't wait to build this out more, add more polish and yes, more cities!
Impressive
What if you could feel a photo?
Millions of blind and low-vision people can't - the images we love stay locked behind a screen. So we built Felt: drop in any image and it becomes a tactile relief with braille, ready to 3D-print. Felt redraws your picture into clean, raised lines, writes a braille caption and turns it into a real 3D file you can hold.
Felt was built in Figma. Claude shaped the idea how a flat image becomes a raised relief, and how to map each shape into readable braille - and through Figma MCP it worked right on the canvas with us. In Figma Design we built the whole product: the palette, the type, every component and state and the full flow from landing to printable file. We packaged it all into a Figma Make kit, so the design stayed a single, on-brand source of truth. Figma Weave generated our artwork as clean SVG and Figma Make turned everything into real, working code. Under the hood, Supabase with Nano Banana Pro redraws any uploaded image into clean, printable lines through a single AI API call. Then we took it into the third dimension: a 3D relief methodology turns those lines into a height-mapped model with real depth - rendered live in Three.js and exported as a 3D-printable file.
It's a side of Figma you rarely see - not just screens but 3D and design that leaves the screen for good.
Accessibility isn't a feature here, it's the whole point. Design doesn't have to stay on the screen. From screen to skin. 🤍
