Abigail Africa, a Student Fellow at Figma, on deciding whether or not to complete her degree this year in the middle of the pandemic. ​“Dylan, who left college to start Figma, offered to bring in other perspectives alongside his own. We invited a small handful of people we knew would be thoughtful on the topic to chat with Dylan over Zoom: Laura Deming, John Maeda, Marc Andreessen, Jeff Weiner, Karlie Kloss, and May-Li Khoe.”

Marcin Wichary, Design Manager at Figma, gives an inside look into how selection colors and OpenType support were built.

A good conversation on his career, the PM’s role, what other projects he finds interesting, and more.

Interview with Jason Pearson, Figma’s Head of Product Support.

Organized by Hack Club.

Dylan Field talks about the early days of Figma, fundraising during COVID, and his experience as a first-time CEO on podcast Station F.

“Twice a year, we set aside a week for everyone at the company to explore a project outside of their daily responsibilities. Unlike hackathons — which are largely built for engineering and design — Maker Week is for everyone, across teams and skillsets.”

Next, Dylan pitches his company to Daniel Gross as if back in 2013. Ten minutes of mind-bending WebGL and JS demos.

Dylan Field shares how he and Evan Wallace came up with the idea for Figma. In the first part, he shares his original pitch in the Thiel Fellowship application from 2011.

This is just a brilliant follow-up! Pay attention to tweets’ dates.
