As design files grow in complexity and team size, the native Figma comment panel becomes increasingly difficult to navigate. Critical feedback gets buried, tasks go untracked, and designers waste time scrolling through resolved threads looking for what still needs attention. 😵💫
Bottom Line solves that by providing an intelligent, filterable comment dashboard directly inside Figma. Powered by AI 🤖, it summarises lengthy threads into actionable digests, extracts implicit tasks from natural language, and surfaces what matters most to each user based on their role and mentions.

I use Figma's selection colors feature extensively 🙌 . It has helped me assigned my revised tokens to my elements at scale. But it did not allow the selection of elements based on their type e.g. backgrounds, text, vectors, etc. And this meant a blocker for us as well since our tokens were designed that way, like is the case with anyone working with a production ready design system.
🌼 Color Me Good is a Figma plugin that detects every color in use—both resolved hex values and design token references—and enables designers to search, filter, and select the elements where those colors are applied.

My AI research demanded a more efficient way to capture video screenshots. To solve this, I developed a Chrome extension that automates the process. With ChatGPT as my coding mentor, I brought this tool to life, publishing it on the Chrome store for others to use. This project not only sharpened my programming skills but also deepened my understanding of AI's potential in software development. It's been incredibly rewarding to see my creation streamline my workflow and assist fellow researchers.

The 2021 edition of ValueLabs Design Inspire Conference was themed around the phrase Regenerate & Evolve. Like last year, we wanted to create the generative identity patterns for our participants and the theme called out for it nevertheless. Our team wanted to pick natural phenomena as a concept to visualize the generative patterns and this gave a chance for us to explore both organic and geometrical renders. Below I discuss the ideation process for the same, our iterations through multiple concepts, and our final choice.

Lumen is an experiment in the field of generative design and dynamic branding which investigates the use of computer algorithms to define brand graphic system instead of manually creating its instances. The generative algorithm, also named Lumen, converts the data collected from the registrants at ValueLabs Design Inspire conference 2020, into unique, organic, and personalized visual assets that are manifested as attendee takeaways like ID cards, Zoom backgrounds, etc.
