Pascal Pixel on Design, Development, and Solopreneurship!
What is the ideal size of a design team? What is the Horse Browser? How did we end up with really boring designs? We cover all of this and more!
Hi everybody - In my latest chat, meet Pascal Pixel - a very talented designer, developer, and solopreneur. He has been tinkering in this space from a very early age and has a slew of fantastic projects that he can assign his name to, including his current project, the uniquely named Horse Browser.
In this insights-packed conversation, we talk more about his projects and dive into his deep understanding of design and design teams. You can watch our full conversation below:

There are many thought-provoking moments throughout our chat, but Pascal gives one of the clearest answers to why large design teams don’t work at the 25:10 mark. This was such a good answer, I had to share just that snippet in its own tweet here. If you don’t watch any other part of this interview, just watch that! 😇
Pixel Artists FTW!
Taking many steps back, I’ve been following Pascal’s work for years. As many of you may know, I love pixel art. There aren’t too many designers these days who actively use pixel art in their creations, but Pascal is one of the best of them.
Below is a screenshot from Poolsuite where Pascal created the nice pixelated iconography:
Check out Pascal’s full portfolio for more such examples (especially and including) the awesome Johto Mono pixel font.
Till Next Time
I hope you enjoyed my conversation with Pascal. Over the course of the year, I will be sharing more interviews with talented individuals who genuinely love what they do…and are very good at it!
