The Avatar displays the user’s initials, generated from the information provided in their profile. It is designed to be simple, consistent, and easy to recognize at a glance.

  2. Always use uppercase letters in the Initials text string in Figma, as this matches the production output.
  3. Do not add symbols, numbers, or extra characters.
