Founder of Vaughn & Undrafted
Live from Config 2026:
Everything you saw today — code, motion, shaders, AI generation, and even your own custom tools — now lives together in the canvas.
For the first time, it’s all in one place.
Today, Figma announced new ways to:
→ Explore with code → Generate with Weave → Build plugins and shaders with the Figma Agent → Animate with Figma Motion
The canvas is no longer just where you design.
It’s where you build.
Shaders made inside Framer with the Cursor to Framer AI Agent skill. Only gave Cursor the colors and specs for these to be a 5K Macbook Pro Wallpaper Size and it did the rest.

Who else is transitioning all of their clients to Framer?
Lots of work, but no where near as long now!
A few months ago, while building a client project, I realized Webflow didn't have a great way to embed YouTube channels and video feeds.
So I built one.
That project eventually became DropKit.
Build embeddable YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and marquee components visually. Copy the code. Drop it into any website.
Funny how some products start as a client problem and turn into something much bigger.

Building the CFB Alerts site in Framer so we are changing a few things. One option being the navigation bar with a mega drop down menu as you can see in the video.
Im loving incorporating GIF's into the project cards.
I built my first sports news website back in 2018.
At the time, I wasn't trying to become a web designer. I was building Undrafted and needed a place for our stories, photos, and coverage to live.
Since then, I've started multiple businesses, built brands from the ground up, and even had the opportunity to sell one. Along the way, I discovered something I genuinely love: branding and web design.
More recently, I've fallen in love with Framer. As I explored the marketplace, I noticed something missing. There weren't many templates built specifically for sports media companies, publishers, and content creators.
So I decided to build one myself.
After years of covering sports and designing for media brands, this felt like the perfect project to bring those worlds together.
Still refining a few things, but I'd love to hear your thoughts. What would you change?
Give me your brutal feedback!
The new agent and I have been putting in some serious work. Started this build at 6pm last night and worked until about 2am. Now, back at it lol.
Been building sports news websites since 2018.
What started as a passion project turned into a platform that earned the trust of organizations like the NHL, PGA TOUR, NCAA, and NASCAR, just to name a few.
Over the years, I've learned a lot as both a founder and designer. What works. What doesn't. What readers actually engage with. And how to build a sports publication that can scale.
Now I'm packaging those lessons into a sports news template built exactly how I would launch a modern media brand today.
Whether you're starting a national sports publication, a local media outlet, or a dedicated site for a single team, this template gives you the foundation to hit the ground running.
And if sports isn't your thing? Strip out the content, swap the branding, and make it your own.
More details soon. 👀🏈🏀⚾🏒⚽🏁
A closer look at the AI canvas toolbar concept I shared earlier, inspired by Lovable's new toolbar direction. This version focuses on the details. Soft glass morphism, subtle depth, clean iconography, and a premium visual hierarchy. Exploring how small UI components can feel more tactile, intentional, and ready for motion. Some of my favorite design work happens at the component level.
