How to approach faceplate design?
I really like svg2mod which lets you create multi layer KiCad footprint files converted from Inkscape (or whatever tool you like for svg).

How to approach faceplate design?
https://github.com/JonathanBedrava/eurorack-kicad-templates is a good place to start wrt the basic dimensions of the panel/PCBs, which in turn provides the available space restrictions for your chosen components in KiCAD. You may also want to check out https://doepfer.de/DIY/a100_diy.htm for some fundamentals related to Eurorack.
