About
Designer, builder, wannabe writer.
I am a designer who keeps building tools instead of picking a lane. I made Avataaars, Humaaans, Open Peeps, and Open Doodles, the free illustration libraries half the internet used at some point. I drew Robotos, co-founded Lummi (an AI image platform, acquired by Udemy) and Blush, and started Bueno.
These days I work on v0 at Vercel and build AI design tools on the side: Efecto, Newt, Hilos, squig, and a few others the world did not strictly ask for.
I write at pablostanley.substack.com and used to teach design out loud on YouTube. This site is my portfolio drawn by hand as a little world you can walk around. There is also a plain list, if walking is not your thing.
