Hi Contra friends,
I’ve noticed something funny about my creative process.
Some of my best ideas don’t come when I’m sitting there trying to solve a design problem. They usually show up when I’m playing with something completely unrelated.
A weird interaction.
A random experiment.
An idea that probably doesn’t make sense yet.
So I started building a little playground website where I can test these ideas:
https://myaplayground.com/
Lately I’ve been doing a lot of vibe coding. It’s been a fun way to turn half-baked ideas into small interactive things and see where they go.
Ironically, a lot of those playful experiments end up helping me solve real design problems later in my work.
If you're curious, wander around and have fun!
Love your website! And wow, even real drawing option! It is so cool!
Thanks Julia! I'm glad you found that little easter egg, it's my favorite part! 😊 Love your featured animations too they are so fun!!

Thank you Dhaval!
Creative playgrounds are where the best ideas start!
Totally! It's the most fun place to be as a designer I think! 🙌

Love the whitespace and the photography. Architecture sites hit different when the design actually matches the mood of the builds.
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
✨ Turn culture into something you can interact with.
