I found an old concept website I designed for BoomBox back in 2021.
At the time, I was working on a Late 2011 MacBook Pro that could barely survive Figma prototyping 😅
Every interaction lagged.
Every animation stuttered.
Every prototype felt like a small battle between me and my laptop.
Looking back, I can see a hundred things I'd improve today.
But I can also see something else:
I was already experimenting with bold typography, motion, and creating an experience rather than just arranging screens.
Sometimes it's fun to revisit old work.
Not to judge how far you still have to go, but to remember how far you've already come.
Curious:
What's the oldest project you're still proud of?
Lately, I’ve been diving deep into Cursor, Claude, and AI agents.
Instead of just watching tutorials, I decided to learn by building something myself — a Figma plugin from scratch. There are already plenty of similar solutions out there, but my goal was to understand the entire creation process, from idea to a working product.
And here’s the result: I went from zero knowledge to a functioning plugin in just two days.
The plugin already helps identify issues in design files and highlights things that are easy to miss during day-to-day work. Of course, I’m still not 100% satisfied with it — there’s always room for improvement. But for a first attempt, I’m pretty happy with the outcome.
The most exciting part is that while building it, I started coming up with new ideas for Design System automation: naming conventions, component structure, style organization, and other repetitive tasks that could be streamlined with AI.
Looks like this is just the beginning 😄
Tech stack: Cursor, Claude, ChatGPT, and the Figma Plugin API.
For now, here’s a look at what I’ve built so far 👇
👋 Hi everyone!
My name is Anastasiia, though most people know me as Rada.
I’m a Product Designer from Ukraine who enjoys turning complex problems into simple, meaningful experiences.
While design is my profession, it’s not the only thing that shapes the way I think. I also teach DJing, and both worlds have taught me the same lesson: great experiences are never accidental. They are carefully designed.
I’m fascinated by user behavior, product strategy, research, and the decisions that turn ideas into products people genuinely want to use.
I joined this challenge to share my thoughts, learn from others, and become more consistent in creating content.
Here you'll find insights about UX, product thinking, research, design processes, lessons learned, and sometimes a few stories from the music world as well.
Looking forward to connecting with you all 🚀
