Figr AIFeb 2026 · figr.design · ▲503Built Figr AI because I got tired of AI builder tools market themselves as design tools and end up skipping the hard part. Every tool I tried would jump straight to screens. But that's not how product design actually works. You don't just design screens. You think through the problem first. The flows, the edge cases, the user journey, where people will get stuck. Then the design comes finally. Figr does that thinking layer first. It parses your existing product via a chrome extension or takes in screen-records, then works through the problem with you before designing. Surfaces edge cases,…
Refero 2.02023 · refero.design · ▲458Together with my partner, we are bootstraping a service that allows product designers (and actually startup founders) to find design references from real life product (web and iOS). Why is this important and why does it even work? Every designer spends up to 6 hours a week (we've talked to over 100 of our users to make sure) looking at references on sites like Dribbble and Behance for sources of inspiration. Sometimes they just need to find payment form or specific dashboard, for example. And Refero solves this problem in the best way possible. Refero allows you to find iOS pages or web…

I made a thing! In 2014, I was holding a stack of iPhones and thought to myself: "Hey, if I had each phone display a playing card, I could click a button and they'd shuffle themselves" I pared that idea all the way down to this: trading cards made of e-ink displays. Right now, each card costs me about $20 each, but with only a bit more scale, I think I can get that down to $10. In doing this project, I learned how to design electronics and circuit boards. I learned Rust and wrote my first driver, I upped my CAD skills, 3D printed, and did my first resin casting. I generated the images on the…
