BizTag - Nametag Generation Figma Plugin
Role: Plugin Developer
Designers spend hours manually porting names from a spreadsheet into their designs to create nametags and other custom visual assets. Figma lacked the features to deal with variable data like Adobe, but their plugin API ecosystem left potential for an open source solution to this common problem.

PLUGIN OVERVIEW

This app allows users to generate nametags directly within the Figma canvas. By uploading a .csv file containing participant details, an image file for the background, and specifying the desired width and height, the app leverages Figma's API to procedurally create personalized nametags for each entry in the spreadsheet. This streamlines the design process and ensures consistency across all nametags.

WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT

Our club focuses on organizing and hosting large scale events, which translates to ~200 nametags being made on average every event. Before each event, creating these nametags manually often takes the work of 2-3 designers and takes multiple hours. By automating the process, which takes roughly 10 minutes for a single designer, the time saved for the team is significant. This efficiency enables the designers to focus on other critical aspects of event preparation, ensuring a smoother and more professional experience for attendees.
