Design a physical, tactile interface that enhances productivity and joy for digital creators using tools like Figma and Framer.
Blender (3D Modeling), Framer (Prototype), Figma (UI System), Photoshop (Post-Production)
Design Highlights
Modular Grid System:
Inspired by synthesizers and control decks, the device features a flexible layout of programmable buttons.
Multi-Tool Modes:
Swappable interfaces for tools like Figma (with design alignment shortcuts) and Framer (with publish-ready actions).
Display Feedback:
OLED display with contextual messages and real-time feedback (battery, mode, time).
Minimal Aesthetic:
Influenced by Dieter Rams & Japanese minimalism—form follows function.
Why It Matters
In a world dominated by software, there’s a growing hunger for tangible interaction. This project explores how digital creators can feel more connected, focused, and playful while working.
Next Steps
Exploring manufacturing possibilities and creating a kit for creators & indie designers.
