Backyard Gems is an app to get people to explore their communities and protect their local "gems".
Started in Figma Weave, went to Figma Make, back to Figma Weave, then back to Figma Make, then to Figma Design the back to Figma Weave. Also would copy chats/prompts from each product to use in another product during my workflow.
Why all that? Mainly the visuals lol. I thought generating a brand system then using that in Figma Make would make things easier, but there was still needed adjustments. And there was alot of adjustments and generations to get some visuals and videos that I liked/could tolerate.
Also saw a question on another submission about if a video was made in Figma Weave, and I thought, why not as I was concerned about how to best portray the aim of the app that I couldn't do with just a screen recording. So copied app design from Make, plopped into Design, so I could port it into Weave.
The best thing to do is see the app for yourself here: https://listen-stuck-71113393.figma.site/

I am glad someone else is also excited by this concept!
Thank you Monic!😊

A few things we’ve been working on this month.
Different industries, different problems, but the same goal: making complex products feel simple, clear, and trustworthy.
Fintech → Investment Banking → Geospatial AI
More projects are still in progress.
Full case studies coming soon.
This is the kind of work I enjoy seeing — simple, focused, and actually thought through.
Does an AI brand still need to look like an AI brand?
Lupr helps small and growing businesses adopt AI without the complexity, so the identity needed to do the same.
We built a clean, approachable system around movement, connection and continuous improvement, without leaning on the usual futuristic tech clichés.
The idea was simple: make AI feel like useful business infrastructure, not something you need to be an expert to understand.
As AI becomes part of everyday business, do you think brands still need to visibly signal “AI”?
Full case study below 👇
Great design it feels alive 🎉🎉❤️❤️
Next intelligence. A brand you can feel.
Ice blue, deep black and refracted glass bring texture, depth and a sense of touch to an invisible technology. An identity designed to be recognised. And felt.
Brand identity and visual direction for Niwos, a platform that brings AI agents together as a digital workforce.
Five modules. One W. A simple idea at the heart of the identity: working as one.
I’ve really enjoyed working on this project with Muhammed. His trust in my design judgement and openness to new ideas gave me the creative freedom to explore fully.
Here’s hoping this is just the first chapter of an exciting journey with him and his team.
👍 nicely done
