Lumi: Interactive Storytelling in Figma

Lumi is an independent project exploring how far storytelling and animation can be pushed inside Figma alone. Set in a spiritual realm, the experience follows a small wandering Spirit trying to restore balance–a contained narrative built to test how design, motion, and atmosphere can merge without code.

The goal was to create an immersive, interactive story purely through Figma’s native prototyping tools. I built the narrative, which shaped the artistic direction and emotional tone. Every scene was planned with a clear arc in mind, ensuring that the story, visuals, and transitions supported a cohesive world.

UX/UI Designer

• Developed the narrative structure through short story prompts, a visual mood board, and rapid ideation. • Built a visual concept board defining mood, palette, and spiritual symbolism. • Created storyboards for each scene to map user flow and emotional pacing. • Designed illustrations optimised for micro-animations. • Used Figma Components and Smart Animate to craft transitions and interactive moments. • Iterated continuously on motion, layout, and timing to keep the prototype expressive within Figma’s constraints.
