UI/UX Designer: Creative & Fast-paced
Just made a quick Figma tricks video.
I’m starting a small series where I’ll share little Figma things I’ve picked up while working on UI and interaction design.
Here’s part 01.
I’m still learning and experimenting with Figma, so I’ll be sharing the things I actually find useful along the way.
Would love to know if you already use this trick in your workflow.

OpenAI released GPT-6 Astra this week. It can open Blender, model an entire house, and turn it into a walkable 3D scene in Unreal Engine, from one prompt, without a human touching a single tool.
It also scored 99.9% on ARC-AGI-3, a benchmark built specifically to measure general intelligence. OpenAI's own president, Greg Brockman, told reporters, "Welcome to the AGI era." Asked whether this is the model where AGI actually began, he said, "It might be about this model."
Here's the part worth sitting with if you're an independent designer or developer. Independent researchers ran the same benchmark and got 62.7%, not 99.9%. Still record breaking, just not the number OpenAI is leading with. That gap between a company's internal number and an outside, reproducible one is exactly the kind of thing freelancers can't afford to skip past, because we're the ones who'll actually be handed these tools mid-project and expected to know what they can and can't do.
The 3D modeling capability is the part I'd actually pay attention to over the AGI framing. A model that can go from prompt to walkable 3D scene changes what a client can reasonably ask for on a tight turnaround, and it changes what "fast" means in a proposal. Whether or not this is AGI is a debate for OpenAI's marketing team. Whether it changes your next quote is not.
What's your take, is this something you're already testing in your workflow, or waiting to see how it performs outside a demo?

Hi everyone!
I recreating the Shopify Winter Edition catalog webpage in Figma.
Watch here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZxTje0Mwwps&t=6s
I didn’t use any AI for this one, I wanted to build everything myself and really understand the details behind the design, from layout and spacing to typography, components, and visual hierarchy.
Since this isn’t client work, I used it as an opportunity to go deeper into the process rather than just getting the final result quickly.
Sharing it here with the Contra community. Would love to hear your feedback and what you think I could improve.
