“In episode 88 of The Secure Developer, Guy Podjarny speaks to Dev Akhawe, Head of Security at Figma, the first state-of-the-art interface design tool that runs entirely in your browser. Dev pulls back the curtain and gives us a look at what security at Figma looks like.”

“We recently introduced commenting on files in the Figma Community, allowing you to ask questions, share your opinion, or offer feedback. Here, engineer Emily Zhong shares how she and a team across design, product, and engineering thought anew about what it means to connect and engage in the community.”

Ryhan shows the process of creating a new Big Sur-ready icon for Figma desktop app.

On her 1st anniversary at Figma, Kelsey Whelan shares a few photos of their cool office.

Maria Sitkovets recorded her journey of applying to Figma for a software engineering internship, doing the online coding assessment, and getting the opportunity to do the final round of interviews.

“We brought ten Figmates together to share their tips and tricks with you. We dove into features, covered getting started in Figma, plugins, and speed tips. You’ll hear from engineers, designers, designer advocates, product managers, and researchers.”

Chris Baty is the Principal UX Writer at Figma and was previously the head of UX writing at Dropbox. He’s also the founder of NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month). In this podcast, he talks about joining Figma, the work he’s doing there to make Figma an exceptional tool for UX writers and content designers, and what it’s like working as a team of one.

During an audit of marketing pages, the team at Figma realized they weren’t following their own advice. Over the course of a month, their small team created and organized a robust, adaptable style guide and component library that now lives in their CMS. I loved that part: “…every color has its own branded name, inspired by California, where Figma is based. An earthy green is avocado toast, and an ember yellow is sunset.”

What a gem! ​“This file contains the Figma design language and system. It includes the styles, components, and variants Figma’s design team uses everyday to design Figma itself, as well as some instructions and best practices.”

“At Figma, we believe in continuously investing in product quality and developer productivity by looking at recurring types of bugs and addressing them in a systematic way. A few months ago, our engineering team completed a large effort that achieves both: turning on the strictNullChecks compiler flag for our front-end TypeScript codebase.”

Willy Wu, Software Engineer at Figma, shares the backstory on the previous versions of Auto Layout, the product tradeoffs that were made, and how the feature has evolved over time. Seeing how the decisions were made really helps understand the feature better.

Figma’s brand is really fun to look at. I didn’t know they have a special resource where you can learn about all of its aspects.

“Building a great relationship between a client and their agency is easier said than done. Join us as we sit down with the BASIC agency and their client, Herman Miller’s Design Within Reach, and get an inside look into how they built a transparent process that works.”

“We recently expanded autosave in Figma so you can work offline without worrying about losing changes. Engineer Rudi Chen takes us behind the scenes of building this update: how we made product decisions, managed large merge conflicts, and navigated the complexities of Figma’s multiplayer technology.”

Software engineer Jamie Wong tells a great story of debugging a sneaky bug in Figma when he found himself on an hour-long Lyft ride from San Francisco to Mountain View to meet a stranger who’d never heard of Figma.

Figma has hired Ken Norton as director of product. Ken spent more than fourteen years at Google, where he led product initiatives for Google Docs, Google Calendar, Google Mobile Maps, and GV. After using Figma for nine months, he said he approached the company about joining.

It’s that time of the year again — time for annual rankings and ratings. Forbes published their annual ranking of the world’s top private cloud companies. Figma is #29 on the list.

You may remember Craig Mod from his keynote on Config 2020. In this podcast, he talks about finances, starting investing at an early age, saving to buy future freedom, and how this approach led him to invest in Figma during the early days.

“Figma has partnered with leading global digital and design agencies. These agencies have a proven track record of helping their clients run at scale by setting up and migrating their design systems, implementing more efficient processes, and providing an overall elevated level of service.”
