Pin & Thread beta
Drag a thread around a grid of pins and watch it pull taut into bold, organic forms — after Armin Hofmann's Basel exercises. Export as embeddable SVG.
Launch tool →Small, sharp, single-purpose instruments for drawing, typesetting, and play — built in the browser, nothing to install.

Launch tool →Build a font from modular blocks or freehand strokes, set the metrics, add weight and oblique — then export a real .otf you can install anywhere.
Launch tool →Turn your camera into falling matrix rain that lights up around whatever it sees. Tune the speed, glyphs, and color — all on your device, nothing uploaded.
Launch tool →Move your hand across the camera and your fingertips push and pull the image like grabbing fabric — real hand tracking, distortion modes, all on your device.
Launch tool →Turn your hands into an instrument. Each fingertip plays its own voice on a scale-tuned harp, snapped to a tempo so it always sounds musical. Extend a finger to pluck.
Launch tool →Draw abstract compositions in the air. An open hand paints flowing trails; pinch to stamp fixed shapes. Symmetry, color, keep or fade — then download your piece.
Launch tool →A zen sand garden in your browser. Drag to rake calm, light-catching grooves — single line or a multi-tooth comb. Place stones, pick a sand tone, and download the result. Works on any device.
Launch tool →Pick a Google Font and stack animation effects — typewriter, wave, blur, melt, neon glow and more. The text reacts to your cursor live. Export clean CSS, or record a WebM video of your performance.
Launch tool →A multidisciplinary designer, creative technologist, solutions architect, and aspiring educator whose work lives at the intersection of design, technology, and human connection. Driven by curiosity and a deep love for interaction and play, Jawad Farooq Naik builds tools, systems, and experiences that bring presence, warmth, and intent to the way people communicate, work, and care for one another.
His path began among the machines of PrintVision, his family's printing business, where he learned early that design shapes how we see, touch, and experience the world. That early spark grew into formal practice through a BFA in Visual Communication Design from the National College of Arts in Lahore, followed by an MFA in Dynamic Media from the Massachusetts College of Art and Design (MassArt), with extended graduate work alongside MIT's Responsive Environments group.
His MFA thesis, Tangible Tomorrow, grew from a deeply personal question: how do we bring presence back to long-distance relationships? The work explored intelligent companions and tangible interfaces designed to reduce emotional distance — not to replace human connection, but to hold it gently. That thesis continues to anchor his practice today, where code meets emotion and media becomes touch.
Today, he works through Pinn.Media — the multidisciplinary creative studio he co-founded — designing intelligent systems and digital infrastructure across creative industries, healthcare, and small to medium enterprises. The work spans empathetic AI integration, custom CRM and operational platforms, brand and visual identity, and human-centered automation. He believes the future belongs to creators who make technology more caring, intuitive, and alive — and that technology becomes meaningful only when it remembers the human at the center.
