Hey, thanks for dropping by 😉I’m Thanon Vongprayoon — product designer, developer, and builder of tools that (actually) get used.
Ask ChatGPT about me
Right now, I’m busy with...
I joined Ko-fi back in 2019 as the very first employee. Since then, I’ve been working closely with the team to design and build features that empower creators—like:
These features have helped creators earn over $200 million so far, with the platform now welcoming 40M+ visitors every month.
As Head of Design, I’ve been responsible for everything design-related—from user research and interface design to front-end implementation and branding. I also create internal assets for the team and community.
Big love to the Ko-fi crew—Whoop Whoop! ☕️
None of this would’ve been possible without such an amazing team.

PlayNode is a node-based tool I created to help educators, UX researchers, and storytellers streamline their workflows. Whether it’s generating personalized worksheets, doing competitor analysis, or crafting scripts, PlayNode helps visualize complex ideas through drag-and-drop logic, shareable flows, and customizable nodes.
What started as a small idea has grown into a tool used by 1,000+ people and counting.

Crit Design
Founder
Crit Design is a browser extension I created to support designers in their day-to-day work. Powered by GPT-4 Vision, it helps analyze images, web pages, and text—right in the browser, no uploads needed.
It’s been used for everything from generating ALT text and improving SEO to crafting A/B testing copy and suggesting UX improvements. The first version works on Chrome and was built with accessibility, creativity, and real-world workflows in mind.
This project has been especially meaningful to me—it started with feedback from fellow designers and grew into something that’s now helping over 1,000 people. Still early days, but I’m excited about where it’s heading.

This was a spontaneous two-week hackathon project I built with Tryn and Chin over Discord. I worked on the front-end and branding.
SplashAI is a Figma plugin that combines AI-powered text-to-image generation with a design-centric search engine. It’s now used regularly by over 16,000 designers.

In 2021, I teamed up with friends to explore blockchain and NFTs, just out of curiosity. We built Speedboat—a no-code NFT builder that lets creators generate artwork and launch collections across 9+ chains (Ethereum, Polygon, BSC, and more).
More than 500 NFT projects have launched using Speedboat, with support for 8 marketplaces built-in.
Huge thanks to the crew who made this happen 🚤
