Ko-fi

Head of Design・Full-time.

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:

Donations
Subscriptions
Commissions
Shop sales
Direct messages
...and more

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

Founder・Site project.

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.

CritDesign

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

Co-founder・Open source plugin.

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.

Speedboat

Co-founder・Side project

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 🚤
