Prototyping in Figma - WiP



Some projects never make it to this website because I use Twitter as a project log. When I want to show specific projects to folks, I find searching for them difficult as my project Tweets tend to get mixed up with other Twitter timelines. To make searching for projects somewhat easier and fun, I created an interactive prototype using Figma that allows anyone to scroll through my projects - each linked to its Twitter logs and accessible at a single click. As a bonus, I am happy to see these projects collected in one place - my very own project garden - where I plant new ideas, make things and grow my practice 🌵️🧶⌘🤖🎨🧵🌈 



This prototype uses the ‘Apple Summary Slide Template’ by madewithjello︎︎︎ in Figma. In the future, I hope to customize this template to make it look more garden-like 🌝️ loosely inspired by the idea of digital gardening︎︎︎
