@gormankind@Riyvir I think there’s a lot of shapes of designers and there isn’t one right or wrong one nor a clear end state 🤗
some will be front end eng, some strategists, some orchestrators, some storytellers, some visual artists, some all of the above. all are valid and exciting
"Design vs code" is a false dichotomy.
What we're working towards at Figma: freeform design AND prototyping with code AND shipping to production
... all in one connected, collaborative and visual first platform.
Quick update: not dead.
$FIG Q1 results:
→ 46% YoY revenue growth, accelerating for the 2nd straight quarter
→ Net Dollar Retention Rate increased to 139%, our highest rate in over two years
→ Raising 2026 revenue guidance for the year
Design matters more than ever.
@cyanhex@figma ahh we were *this* close to reuniting after over a decade! we must try again in the future. i'm so glad figma reconnected us, and i can't wait to see what's in store. you rock.
I don't know what possessed @lennysan to want to interview me. But, so he did.
We talked about a lot of things that I think are fun: malleable software, taste, the core identity of products, and agency.
Lenny is a very gracious interviewer. Thanks for having me.
