Hey, thanks for dropping by 😉
I’m Thanon Vongprayoon
A product designer, front-end developer, and builder of tools that (actually) get used.
Ask ChatGPT about me
Right now, I’m busy with...
I joined Ko-fi in 2019 as the very first employee. Since then, I’ve worked closely with the team to design and build features that empower creators, including:
These tools have helped creators earn over $200 million, with the platform now attracting 40M+ monthly visitors.
As Head of Design, I shape every interaction between creators and supporters - blending research, thoughtful design, and hands-on development. I also craft internal tools and assets to help our team and community thrive.
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 built to help educators, UX researchers, and storytellers streamline their workflows. Whether it's generating personalized worksheets, conducting competitor analysis, or crafting scripts, PlayNode helps visualize complex ideas through drag-and-drop logic, customizable nodes, and shareable flows.
What began as a small idea has grown into a tool used by 1,000+ people - and it's still growing.

Founder・Site project.
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, webpages, and text directly in the browser - no uploads needed.
Designers have used it for everything from generating ALT text and improving SEO to writing A/B test copy and suggesting UX enhancements. The first version runs on Chrome and was built with accessibility, creativity, and real-world design workflows in mind.
This project is especially close to my heart - it started with feedback from fellow designers and now supports 1,000+ users. Still early days, but I'm excited about where it's headed.

SplashAI is a Figma plugin that blends AI-powered text-to-image generation with a design-first search engine. Built over a week during a spontaneous hackathon with Tryn and Chin, I focused on the front-end and branding.
It’s now used regularly by 16,000+ designers to supercharge their creative workflows.

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 🚤
