Craigslist Reimagined — Before vs After
Not just a homepage redesign.
I reimagined the entire Marketplace UX/UI as an independent concept project—from research and user flows to a complete design system and interactive prototype.
This is not affiliated with Craigslist. It's a personal concept created to explore a more modern, trustworthy, and AI-powered marketplace experience.

I'd love to hear your feedback. Which version would you choose?

If you had to choose one option to present your brand without actually talking to the users, what would you choose?
Lately, I've been pushing myself to explore what's possible with Figma Motion and see just how far I can take animations without leaving Figma.
I recently came across a really smooth WhatsApp animation and thought, why not recreate it? So I challenged myself to build it from scratch, paying close attention to the timing, easing, and micro-interactions.
It's been a fun way to learn, experiment, and sharpen my motion design skills.
How do you think it turned out? 👀
I'd love to hear your feedback!

Animated visuals makes the user stay, while static will not attract much
Light and dark themes can create completely different impressions of the same brand.
The light version feels more open, clear, and approachable. It creates a sense of trust, accessibility, and calm.
The dark version feels more focused, powerful, and premium. It adds intensity, authority, and a stronger sense of expertise.
The content and structure remain the same, but the emotional perception changes.
For a sports psychology coach working with athletes and coaches, which theme feels more suitable to you: light or dark?

I always prefer dark mode, but I don't know why I think light mode looks good to me
I’m exploring two visual directions for Together, an app concept for the Flowstep challenge focused on helping friends make plans, vote, and keep track of what’s coming up.
For this comparison, I wanted to test how much the overall visual theme changes the feel of the product.
The dark version feels bolder, more energetic, and more nightlife-driven.
The light version feels cleaner, more approachable, and easier to scan.
Dark mode: bold, social, energetic
Light mode: clean, friendly, approachable
Since this app is all about making plans with friends, the visual direction needs to feel fun without becoming overwhelming.
Which version feels stronger for a social planning app?
