Figma plugins · Design tools

Designing for the people who design.

Building tools has changed the way I think about UX. A plugin is a small product: it needs a clear purpose, useful defaults, helpful feedback and a way to recover when something goes wrong.

    From structured writing to editable design content.

    Markdown to Figma explores a more direct way to bring structured written content into the design canvas, reducing repetitive manual formatting.

    UX question

    How can a tool preserve the meaning and hierarchy of structured content while remaining predictable to designers?

    PDF to Frames

    Turning static PDF pages into editable Figma content.

    PDF to Frames explores how PDFs can be imported as editable Figma frames while preserving visual fidelity. The project covers text, image and vector handling, with structural enhancements treated as optional rather than applied blindly.

    Design trade-off

    Fidelity before automated structure. Designers should be able to decide whether an imported page needs structural optimization instead of receiving an unreliable auto-layout conversion by default.

Tools are user experiences, too.

Their quality shows up in the ordinary moments: clear choices, expected behavior, useful feedback and the freedom to keep working.
