SHAKTI is a gesture-controlled interactive experience built for the Config Makeathon.
Inspired by the idea that "what we feed grows," players step into the role of Aarya and confront a symbolic stalker using real-time hand gestures to attack, defend, and build courage. As courage increases, the Trishul power is unlocked, representing resilience, confidence, and inner strength.
Built with Figma Make, SHAKTI combines hand tracking, gameplay, and storytelling to explore how interactive experiences can transform fear into empowerment.

Pip is a zero-friction health companion built to turn tracking your health (SYMPTOMS, DIET AND MORE) into clinical clarity. It abandons rigid 0–10 numeric scales and replaces them with a compassionate, glanceable interface.
❤ Why It Was Built
Pip was born out of pure personal necessity. I built it because it was something I desperately needed, and something a few close friends and someone incredibly close to my heart needed too. I wanted to strip away the clinical coldness of modern software and create something beautifully simple that could be truly, deeply helpful on someone's hardest days
⚠️ The Problem
Traditional health apps suffer from "Data Collection Theater." They force users suffering from chronic illness or fatigue to rate dozens of variables daily, causing severe decision fatigue.
Worse, they act as data sinks, dumping raw, chaotic charts onto doctors. In a high-stakes, 15-minute medical consultation, physicians don't have the time to audit raw logs. They need high-yield, synthesized clinical signals, not noise. Pip bridges this gap by assuming "bad days are the default," capturing symptoms effortlessly, and compiling them into a clean, one-page summary sheet.
🛠 The Figma Workflow Pipeline
To bring Pip to life, I leveraged the Figma ecosystem:
Figma Weave: Used to iterate and generate the visual asset layers for Pip’s mascot.
Figma Agent: Brainstormed layouts directly on the canvas, instantly pairing elegant fonts and organizing simple, stress-free forms.
Figma Make: Instantly turned those canvas designs and components into a live, fully working, and responsive web application while allowing rapid iteration.
Bloom Lab is a cozy virtual plant-breeding mini game where users can choose a seed, plant it, care for it, help it bloom, and create new hybrid plants by combining traits.
The idea started with a simple thought:
What if a plant-care game could feel calm, expressive, and a little magical?
In the game, each plant reacts through mood changes, care meters, facial expressions, and small interactions. Users can water the plant, give it sunlight, watch it grow, and eventually discover hybrid plants like Glowleaf, Honeybloom, and Dreamberry.
This project was also special for me because it was my first time using Figma Make, along with other AI-assisted tools/models during the process. It was exciting, but also challenging. I had to learn how to work with prompts, fix broken flows, manage component states, refine animations, and make sure the final experience still felt intentional as a design.
Some things I focused on:
Building a soft and cozy visual style
Creating reusable components and plant assets
Designing smooth micro-interactions
Making the care screen feel alive through plant expressions and idle animations
Creating branching outcomes based on seed and hybrid choices
This project taught me a lot about designing with AI tools not just generating screens, but guiding, correcting, and shaping the experience until it felt like my own.
It was a challenging but really fun learning experience, and I’m happy I pushed myself to participate.

Highly captivating novel experience.
Which of these two designs is better? I was creating a scrapbook web app, but Figma Make rejected my design and generated its own design instead. What should I do now?

Went with your original Figma design. The spiral notebook layout has actual scrapbook energy that Figma Make's version loses completely. That said, might be worth borrowing the cleaner content area from the generated version and mixing it into your layout.
