Lost+Found: Designing for Empathy in a Disposable World
The Concept (Shaping Culture)
In an era of instant gratification, we treat objects as replaceable. But memories—like a child’s toy or a grandfather’s watch, can't be easily reordered online. Lost+Found reimagines the community board to foster altruism, creating interactions that feel "safe" even in moments of panic.
How I Used Figma Make
I used Figma Make to bridge design and emotion, focusing on "Calm Interaction":
Leveraged responsiveness to ensure the shift from "Panic" (Losing) to "Action" (Reporting) feels seamless and grounding. No sign up, chill you can borrow your friend's phone to post.
This isn't just an app for finding keys; it's a design for finding each other.

I almost lost my oura ring the other day so this hits home
“Reunite what matters” is a powerful emotional anchor.
Curious — how are you thinking about trust and verification between strangers? That seems critical for adoption.
Hi Thanks,
For trust and verification, I’m starting from the moment someone has just lost something and is already stressed. Couple question still needed to see if both side have mutual intention. This app designed to make sure never reveal private contact before passing that...

Presence Feel People, Not Just Messages
Presence is an interaction concept exploring how digital communication can feel more human.
Instead of static profile icons, people exist as living, responsive orbs that gently move and react to your attention. When you hover over someone, they respond and reveal themselves.
Built using Figma Make, this project reimagines presence as something you can feel not just see

Hi Gauravi Pandit, so great to see your submission. Will you include the published Figma Make link?
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
Love stories like this. Winning is great, but the mindset shift that comes from putting your work out there is the real prize. Huge congrats 👏
