Hi, my name is
Václav Vančura
Cross-platform designer and developer, ex‑Microsoft design lead, seasoned game developer.
With over seven years at Microsoft, my UI/UX design journey has been marked by a mix of design innovation and technical development. I led a team of designers working on Microsoft Visual Studio for Mac and worked closely with designers and engineers of Visual Studio and Visual Studio Code.
My development skills extend beyond design; I am proficient in implementing cross-platform UIs and understand well engineers’ unique needs. I have always focused on creating user-friendly, pixel-perfect, yet highly accessible interfaces. Bridging the gap between design and engineering is my secret weapon, ensuring that both disciplines work together.

Together with my fellow designers from Microsoft DevDiv – the Developer Division – we joined Kendra Havens from the .NET team for a nice one-hour talk on how we design developer tools at Microsoft.Transforming Design Collaboration: How I introduceed Figma to Microsoft
As a senior designer at Xamarin (later acquired by Microsoft), I played a crucial role in adopting and developing Figma within Microsoft.
