Face Paint is a digital face paint prototyping platform that lets users design, experiment, and preview face paint virtually before touching their skin. By combining facial alignment guides and live AR preview, users can confidently explore creative ideas without the trial-and-error of physical application. Problem: I've always loved face painting, but as someone with skin allergies, I've rarely been able to enjoy it. Through conversations with face painting & cosplay communities, I found many others also avoid it due to skin concerns or uncertainty about how a design will look before applying it. Traditional face painting often involves trial and error, which can lead to wasted materials, discomfort, and frustration.

Solution: Face Paint is a digital face paint prototyping platform that allows users to create and preview face paint designs before applying anything to their skin.

Impact: This tool makes face art more accessible for people with sensitive skin, reduces material waste, and helps artists & creators make decisions faster. It enables anyone to explore face painting safely, confidently, and creatively in a digital-first way. ✅ You can try it here: https://face-paint.figma.site/

This is such a thoughtful idea! I never considered how difficult face painting can be for people with sensitive skin.

"We're just ducks and our workplace is a field" https://www.quackk.work

We realised standups and team meetings are kind of broken. Not in a dramatic way, just in a "we do this every day and somehow still don't know who's available or what anyone's actually working on" kind of way.

So for the Figma Config Makeathon, me and Aman Priyadarshi built Quackk@work 🦆

The idea: what if your whole team existed on a shared farm, and everyone was a duck? you can see where everyone is, what they're working on, and who has bandwidth. Need help? Quackk at that duck. They get notified on the platform and via the Quackk Slack bot. They accept, and now you're both on the project together. You can make announcements, run polls, and for absolutely no productive reason, pick up your coworkers' ducks and terrify them.

Illustrations were drawn in Figma Draw. Figma Make accelerated our wireframing process, Figma MCP connected our favourite AI tools directly into the workflow, and Weavy handled the intro animation. Built within the Figma ecosystem, the project pushed our understanding of what an end-to-end design stack can do.

Work can be serious. Design doesn't have to be.
