Great Ask-Me-Anything at Designer News with Noah Levin, Design Director at Figma. He answers questions about sourcing new design hires, interview process at Figma, internal and external transparency, latest product announcements, and more.
It’s a marketing video for Notion, but it provides a cool glimpse at Figma’s office and the way they organize their internal documentation. My company just moved to Notion as well, and so far it’s been great!
In case you experienced an outage last week, this is a technical roundup of what happened. The most important part for designers: “We’re kicking off an initiative to ensure you can continue to work on your already open files safely after going offline even if you close your browser before coming back online.”
Figma team shares how they’ve built a unified design system for their marketing site, then implemented it in Contentful CMS.
Figma COO Amanda Kleha talks about different ways of connecting with and serving the community — Config user conference, meetups, ways to follow the company, and a beta of Figma Community.
An old comment from Figma founder Dylan Field where he shares what they used to design the user interface of the app.
Nice observation. Figma’s team has great attention to detail.

A conversation with a creative director of Figma about recent brand refresh.
Figma announced the appointment of Lynn Vojvodich as the newest independent member of the company’s Board of Directors. “Ms. Vojvodich is an experienced leader who has built, grown and transformed businesses for more than 20 years. She served as Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer for Salesforce.com and was a partner at Andreessen Horowitz where she helped portfolio companies accelerate their go-to-market strategies.”
An interesting look into issues and challenges that the infrastructure team at Figma is facing.
Inc. Magazine recognized Figma cofounders Dylan Fields and Evan Wallace as “Rising Stars of 2019”, and Computer Science Department at Brown University talked to Dylan about what sparked the idea for the company.
