Slay or Fail — a Y2K tarot oracle that reads your design's fate. every designer ships with a pit in their stomach: deadlines, clients, the fear it'll flop.
So we cope with rituals — this one's just prettier. Pull 3 cards, the meter calls it (certified slay or glorious disaster), get a cursed-but-true prophecy, let go, hit send.
The recipe: 80% Figma Make, 20% content gen + prompting across ChatGPT, Claude & Gemini, and a pinch of love.
Cosmic RNG, not a perf review.

After years of building design systems for others, I finally decided to ship one for myself.
It’s called Crumbs-UI.
The idea is simple: a design-first UI kit where Figma and production code actually talk to each other through synced tokens. No fake components, no handoff chaos—just a tool that works the way it should.
It’s still in beta. I’m breaking it, refining it, and probably overthinking it.

One of the most fun projects I’ve worked on.
The starting point? A beautiful mess: endless Excel sheets, folders full of documents, government forms, PDFs, emails, and a lot of manual coordination between people trying to figure out how to relocate to another country.
We took that chaos and turned it into a product.
By automating the boring parts and structuring the process, we built a system that helps people and their families move abroad for work — or simply start a new chapter somewhere a bit calmer than whatever madness is going on in the world right now.
Less paperwork. Less confusion. More life decisions actually happening.
And honestly, building tools that help people change their lives a little? That’s the kind of project that makes the work feel worth it.

:I often work with companies that come in with a very specific pain. Not the “hey, can you design our annual recap landing page?” kind of request. Real problems. The kind that slow teams down, burn budgets, and make people question their workflows.
The fun part is when modern tech gets thrown into the mix. That’s when things start to get interesting.
In this case, the team wanted to rethink how they produce visual content at scale. Instead of relying on endless freelancers and stock assets, we explored a different route — integrating locally hosted AI models directly into their workflow.
Less busywork, fewer bottlenecks, and a system that actually helps the team move faster. This is the story of that project.
