Overview

Crawfish is a unique platform that seamlessly integrates crossword puzzles with a blogging interface, designed to cater to both puzzle enthusiasts and content creators. This project was crafted for a friend who wanted to share his crossword creations alongside insightful posts about the art of puzzle-making.

Design Philosophy & UX Exploration

The design process centered around creating a cohesive experience that bridges the gap between interactive puzzles and engaging blog content. Using Figma, I explored ways to blend crossword puzzles and blog posts into a single, cohesive interface without compromising either experience.
