Hi

I’m Pavel, a digital designer based in Berlin.

Plugins

I have created many Figma plugins for different purposes. If I see that the work process can be optimized, I try to do so. It helps free up time for other tasks and make the process more efficient. All my plugins I have made are open source and completely free.

Resources

I beleive that sharing knolwedge is the best way to grow. It's also a great way to highlight a company in the design community. Here a few sneak peaks of my work.

Pets

Pet projects are very important for me. They help me to learn new things and improve my skills from development to design. I always try to make them interesting and useful. I hope you will like them.

                    Articles

                    I love to make and share things, but I also love to write about them. By writing I can explain how I did something not only to myself, but to others as well. I hope you find these posts useful.

                    Experience

                    I have been working in the field of design for more than 10 years. I have experience in different areas of design, and I am always ready to learn something new. During my career, I have always been interested in the development of design systems and design processes. It is important for me to work in a team where I can share my experience and knowledge with colleagues.
