What does restraint look like in web design?
For Halcyon Studio, a premium residential architecture studio based in Sydney, it looks like this.
Just strong typography, generous spacing, and photography that breathes.
The brief was clear: Quiet Luxury. Thoughtful Living. A timeless feel that communicates quality before a single word is read.
Every decision, from the serif display font to the warm off-white palette, was made to feel like the design itself belongs in the same world as the spaces they build.

Which tool do you use to animate your designs ?
For the #ConfigMakeathon, I created Book Trace. It is a reading journal app that helps you capture thoughts while you read, and leave a personal trace when you finish.
[Concept]
Book Trace turns the experience of reading into something you can hold onto. Instead of forgetting what a book meant to you, you leave a Trace — one sentence, one emotion, one word. The app also reads what you wrote and tells you what kind of reader you are, with book recommendations matched to your type and genre.
[Project Overview]
For this submission, I designed:
- Onboarding flow;
- Still Reading experience with in-the-moment note capture;
- Finished flow with the full Trace journey;
- Reader Identity system with personalized recommendations;
- Library with saved traces;
- UI Kit and design system.
[Workflow]
I built the full product from concept to prototype in Figma. UI Kit, component library, and interactive flows all in one file.
[My Experience]
What I loved most about this challenge was how it pushed me to think about the full user journey, not just screens, but emotions. Book Trace started as a simple idea and grew into something that feels genuinely personal.
Figma made it possible to move from rough concept to polished prototype without ever leaving the workspace.
Thank you to the Figma team for a challenge that made me build something I actually want to use!

This feels like a really polished direction for a wallet product. I like how the concept balances security with a more future-facing, modern experience. It doesn’t feel overly complicated, which is exactly what makes a finance product feel more trustworthy and usable.
