flowmanceFalina Aime Design System
Falina Aime is a one-person resume site built as a split screen. A warm portrait on an orange wall stays pinned on the left while everything else scrolls on a black column to the right. It feels bright and friendly at the top (orange on orange, a big white headline, hand-drawn yellow doodles) and turns into a dark, image-heavy portfolio further down.
Three signatures make it recognisable:
- The sticky portrait split. The left 45% of the viewport is a full-height photo (sticky, 100vh) that never scrolls. The right 55% carries all content, with 5% padding.
- The vertical corner nav. The name Falina Aimé sits top-left over the photo, and the menu (Home, About, Project, Pricing, Contact, Cart 0) is stacked bottom-left in wide Syne bold. The current page is yellow #FFEE4A.
- Orange and yellow on black. The first screen of the content column is #FF7400 with white Syne type and small yellow line doodles (a squiggle, a starburst in a circle, a chevron). After it, the page is black with full-bleed, saturated project images.
The design is dark-only below the hero.

Do’s and don’ts
- Keep the 45 / 55 split: a sticky full-height portrait on the left, content scrolling on the right.
- Set headings in Syne and paragraphs in Nunito Sans 300 at white 80% (#FFFFFFCC).
- Underline each section title with a 2px #FFA545 rule.
- Mark the current nav link in #FFEE4A and keep the menu stacked bottom-left.
- Keep images, cards and buttons square (0 radius).
- Use one saturated colour per project image and centre the title on it.
- Put small white text on #FF7400. White on orange is only about 2.7:1, so keep the button label at 16px semibold or larger and keep body text on orange to the 26px lead.
- Use yellow or orange for body text on black.
- Add shadows, glass or rounded cards.
- Use Montserrat; it loads but the design doesn't use it.
- Use ink-faint (white 36%) under 20px.
- Replace the hand-drawn doodles with icon-set icons.

What it is
The whole design system in one markdown file, written for AI: every color, type style, spacing value, component and motion rule, plus do's, don'ts and a ready prompt.
Best for
Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor and v0, or any other AI tool that builds pages or code.
How to use it
- Put
DESIGN.mdin your project and mention it in your request, or save it as.cursor/rules/falina.mdc - For the rule file, start it with a front-matter block that sets
alwaysApply: true, so every chat uses it - Ask: “Build a pricing page using DESIGN.md.” Cursor follows the colors, fonts, spacing and rules
- Put
DESIGN.mdin the project root - Add one line to
CLAUDE.md: “Follow DESIGN.md for all UI.” - Ask for any page or component; Claude reads the file first
- Attach
DESIGN.mdto the chat (or paste it in) - Ask: “Build a landing page in this design system.”
- Keep the file in the chat or project knowledge, so follow-up pages stay on style
What it is
Every token as data, in the W3C Design Tokens format: colors with their roles, type styles, radius, spacing, and component tokens that point at them.
Best for
Figma (Tokens Studio), Style Dictionary and other design-token tools, and build scripts.
How to use it
- In Figma, open Tokens Studio, choose Import, and pick
tokens.json - Or point Style Dictionary’s
sourceat it to generate tokens for any platform - In code, import it like any JSON file
What it is
A Tailwind CSS v4 theme: every color, font, type style, radius and spacing value becomes a Tailwind utility, like bg-canvas, text-headline-lg or rounded-md.
Best for
Tailwind v4 projects, and AI builders that write Tailwind (v0, Lovable, Bolt).
How to use it
- Save
theme.cssnext to your main CSS file - Import it after Tailwind:
@import "tailwindcss"; @import "./theme.css"; - Use the classes:
bg-canvas text-ink rounded-md p-lg

How to use it
- Add it to your stylesheet, or in Webflow paste it into Site settings → Custom code inside a
<style>tag - Use the variables anywhere:
