Kernel are a small team focussed on building the technical toolkit for designers. They’re building a Figma plugin that helps bridge the gap between design and development.
You can connect Figma to your product APIs — and use real data in your designs.
Case study coming soon. In the meantime — here’s a sample of the work for Kernel 👇

Sketching the vision
Have you ever wondered what goes into creating the gadgets that make your life easier and more enjoyable? As a freelance product designer, I'm here to pull back the curtain and take you on a journey from the initial spark of inspiration to the final polished product. It all starts with a simple sketch, where ideas come to life on the blank canvas of my notebook.
Refining the concept
From there, it's a whirlwind of refining concepts, prototyping, and collaborating with manufacturers to bring the design to fruition. But it's not just about turning sketches into tangible objects; it's about solving problems and enhancing user experiences. Each decision, from the choice of materials to the placement of buttons, is carefully considered to ensure that the end result is not only aesthetically pleasing but also functional and intuitive.
Avoid getting in too deep before you’ve figured out if it is right for you

The reward of creation
So the next time you marvel at a sleek new gadget, remember that behind its shiny exterior lies a story of creativity, dedication, and countless hours of hard work. And for me, that's the most rewarding part of being a freelance product designer — knowing that I've played a role in creating something that brings joy and convenience to people's lives.
