    It’s great to see everyone introduce themselves and be surrounded by familiar faces.

    My name is Gavin. I’m a freelance designer who enjoys making things. I don’t really stick to one thing. I’ve worked as an interaction designer and a user researcher. I recently created a few Figma plugins that make managing your design system a little easier, as well as several community resources. I’m extremely grateful to everyone at Figma, including their Support team, and Community and Designer advocates.

    I have a cat called Floyd who thinks he’s a dog. He plays fetch and sleeps between my wife and I when we go to bed. I love Lego but I wish I had more time and space to built it in. I really enjoy cooking (and eating), so if you ever wanna share recipes let me know.

    I want to help people just as others have helped me. I to love listen and learn from such diverse and talented people. Feel free to say hello 👋 here or on twitter @gavinmcfarland.

    Hey friends! I’m Reony, or @megaroeny (find more about me there), a Community Advocate for the Washington D.C. area group.

    I’ve been using Figma since 2016. I currently work at QOMPLX here in Northern Virginia as their Senior Product Designer. We’re a multi-brand/product company, so I’ve had a lot of experience over the past few years making a design system in Figma for multiple brands/products. I also thoroughly enjoy taking advantage of Auto Layout, so I’m happy to answer questions on either topic.

    Notably, my other time is taken up by:

    • Being a dad and husband 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦
    • Loving food 🍱
    • Gaming ⌨️🖱️
    • Advocating electric vehicles⚡
    • Doing yoga 🧘 and hiking 🥾

    So exciting to see this LIVE! Congrats to the Figma team on this. I’m loving the experience so far!

    👋 Hey,
    My name is Andrei Iancu, and I’m working as a UI/UX Designer at Sparktech. In 2018, we switched to Figma, and since then, we have integrated it more and more in our workflow on both design and dev.

    My first plugin is called Styler, and it started as a learning process for both javascript and code thinking. Currently, I’m working on my second plugin, which has as a target to expand features already present in Figma.

    I also participated in Biscuit Challenge #1 where we pushed Figma to its limit.

    More about me here.
