About me
Dad, husband, and designer.
Daniel Destefanis Portrait

I love building things for others.

Currently I work at Figma on AI. Previously, I worked with some wonderful people at Discord, SteelSeries, and agencies.

Everyday I'm driven to solve problems for others and create delightful user experiences.

Lately I've been building free tools for others to create, play, and explore ideas.

Design is a team sport.

Although I currently work as an IC, I've also lead design teams before. I find empowering other designers to do their best work incredibly rewarding. Whether that's as a teammmate or as a leader.

At Discord, I led a team of 10 designers across three pillars. Since then, the pendulum has swung back the other way and I've enjoyed having my hands in the clay again.

Keep learning.

In my spare time I'm often trying to learn new things by building my own software. This helps me dive head first into topics like shaders, swiftUI, 3d modeling, and more.

Below you'll find plenty of side projects I've worked on. Otherwise I tend to share my work often on Twitter and LinkedIn.
