Hey everyone 👋
I'm Laura, 33.
A year ago, I jumped from Product Management into the world of no-code, fell hard for Webflow and web design. Haven't stopped since. Every day I'm in Figma or Webflow, designing products, trying new things, pushing myself further.
I finally found what I'd been missing: creating things with my own hands and bringing ideas to life end to end 🚀
Fun fact about me: In 2025, I traveled from France to Laos entirely by land. It was wild, exhausting and one of the best human experiences I've ever had.
My 2026 adventure? Launching my digital product agency, won't be very different! Probably even more intense. But just like that journey, it's a challenge I'm ready to take on.
Energized to be here on Contra, surrounded by the best and learning from all of you 🌟
See you around!
Welcome! 🙌
Hey Laura!! Wow, France to Laos by land is WILD!! What an experience. Excited to see what you build, welcome to Contra 🌟

Grab the Bears - A Camera-Based Gesture Interaction
A few years ago, gesture interaction required a full engineering team and months of development.
For the Figma Makeathon, I built a working camera-controlled gesture game on my own - entirely in Figma Make.
Grab the Bears reimagines tap and swipe as physical gestures. Players use their right hand to grab floating bears in real time.
• Camera-driven embodied interaction
• Real-time gesture detection
• Animated UI + sound micro-interactions
• Dynamic result generation with shareable export?
Really impressive — camera-based interaction inside Figma Make is a leap. Curious how you handled gesture recognition latency and feedback loops? The micro-response timing probably makes or breaks the experience
SaaS = Software as a Self-soothing
Instacalm -- because there's always things we cannot control in life. Within just a few hours using Figma Make I was able to spin up an app to instantly create a calming meditation practice through the one thing we can control: our breath.
I wanted to create something that was immediately usable and had zero learning curve so anyone could pick it up and chill-the-F-out in a matter of seconds.
Features:
- animated color theme and particles
- animated breath pacer for inhale & exhale cycles
- ambient background music
- optional affirmations
60 versions, 5 breath modes, 5 dark & light color themes, 5 soundscapes, and 80 affirmations later, there's a v1.0 Instacalm app. 😌 Enjoy.
Software as self-soothing’ is a powerful framing. Designing for nervous system regulation instead of productivity feels like a meaningful shift. The breath pacing + ambient layering makes it feel intentional rather than ornamental.
