VP of Design @Figma
- I've been at @figma ~5 years and I still learn new things about it all the time… Today @lbudorick taught me about "shift+delete" to remove and "heal" points on vector paths! Apparently it even adjusts bezier handles of adjacent non-deleted vertices to preserve nice curves 🤯
GIF - 🤩 I hate to be “that designer”, but seriously… nothing comes close to this experience. I could spend an entire week just in this store. I’m having a religious experience in here. Send help. 🥹
- So wild… ICYMI, Elon had access to one of the top design leaders in the world, and yet in a single tweet, chooses to not only burn that bridge, but also demonstrate he has no clue what design is/does Sorry to see this, Halli — and thanks for continuing to be an inspiration 💛
- I wish Spotify had a separate app for podcasts. I could see why they’re together, but personally my mindset is different when I want a podcast vs a song.
- So many @figmadesign launches today at #config2021! 1: 🔀 Branching You can now handle complex design system workflows together! @shanawho did an incredible job leading this design over the past year (@rsms helped kick it off before that & @oscrse has been helping recently too)
- Ahhh! So incredibly proud of our @figmadesign product design team right now. ICYMI @ #ConfigEurope: - Instance Swapping (🥳 @shanawho) - Auto Layout 3.0 (🎉 @rsms) - Variants (🎊 @rsms + @nikolasklein) - Interactive components (🍾 @nikolasklein) - Inspect (👏 @ryhanhassan)
- I made my first @figmadesign plugin for our maker week last week! It turns URL's into little cards. I mostly made it to organize inspiration for shopping, but it could also help to include other relevant links to a project in a more visual way. figma.com/community/plug…
GIF - 📢 Big announcement: We published our @figma design team career levels to the Figma Community! Our amazing Design Manager, Sara Culver, drove a collaborative process last year to refresh our leveling framework and wrote all about it here: figma.com/blog/figma-des… More info in 🧵
- this. is. wild.🤯 I sketched up a quick app to find where to go on a honeymoon, and it pretty much just… works this feels like a peak into the future, where people can spin up their own custom apps on the fly as they need them without writing a line of code…

01:12Replying to @jsngrit's a widget that lives on the canvas that turns your selection into functional UI here's a demo taking a drawing and making it real - One of the biggest transformation's I've seen on our design team @figmadesign has been the addition of UX writing. Everything is so much better w/ them — excited for y'all to see what I mean over the course of launches this year. Let this be a reminder to hire great writers! 😍
