I made a video game 🦫⚾ Beaver Ball is a 3D cartoon softball game where every player is a beaver, every home run lands in a pond, and the trash talk never stops. Free to play in your browser right now, coming to iOS & the Play store soon, details & actual gameplay below 👇

We built the web presence for a fintech startup rewiring how $150T in cross-border payments actually moves. Tolken is building a network that matches banks, fintechs, and PSPs in real time across every corridor. No pre-funding. No new licenses. One integration. Check it out: tolken.co The challenge: make infrastructure that connects global financial systems feel approachable on a screen. Solution: Dark palette. Engaging motion. Dense product information that still reads clean. Two-sided storytelling for senders and providers without making either feel like an afterthought.

Most small business websites do not need more content. They need better judgment. I took Cardinal Accounting’s current site and rebuilt the experience in Figma + MCP to show what happens when the structure gets sharper, the hierarchy gets cleaner, and the business finally looks as credible online as it is in real life. Same business. Stronger signal. Before: cardinalaccountingllc.com After: cardinal-accounting.figma.si… #buildinpublic #figma #mcp #webdesign

I just gave my neighbor’s 2016 WordPress site a massive 2026 upgrade. 🐝 He’s a local beekeeper (Rick from SteingruBees) and a great guy, but his digital presence was stuck in the past. I used @Figma + Claude + MCP servers to go from a design concept to a live @Vercel site in record time. Here is how the stack works now: 🧵

The Build By bridging the gap between design and code with MCP, I was able to: ✅ Export zero assets manually ✅ Match hex codes to the pixel ✅ Deploy to @Vercel in minutes The design-to-dev friction is officially dead.

The Result SteingruBees now has a site that actually looks as premium as Rick's honey. 🍯 If you're a dev or designer looking to sharpen your workflow, give me a follow @jblackdesign. Drop a 🐝 if you think we should save more local business sites from 2016! #BuildInPublic #WebDesign #Figma #MCP

Built this SanAgrow piece with Spline, Firefly, and Photoshop generative fill. AI helped me move faster, but the real value was still in the decisions. Shoutout to @designertom for the push to share more process. #SanAgrow #Spline3D #AdobeFirefly #Photoshop

New Shredd Logo by @jblackdesign Brought the SVG from Figma into @splinetool Hana, and then used a brush stroke SVG, and set it as a mask over the rest of the logo. Added two states and two events (start event & a hover event).

3D for Hana is here. The first canvas that combines 3D and 2D in real-time. Convert any shape to a 3D model in a non-destructive process. All systems (vectors, booleans, layouts, events, etc.) work together.

Good design isn’t just how it looks. It’s how clearly it speaks. How simply it solves. At Righteous, we cut through the noise and make things that actually work. Clarity is the flex. #BuildRighteously
