VP of Product Design @Figma. I like singing and crying at the end of B movie rom coms (not usually at the same time). I tweet about feelings, design, and dogs.

Big launch day 🎉
A million thank you's are in order. As we've grown I can't quite keep up with every contributor with these props posts, but at the very least I wanted to share the product designers and ux writers who worked on SO many (15!) launches at #Config2022 today 👇
1) Dark mode: @ryhanhassan did an incredible job here. Did you know he manually had to map ~500+ semantic tokens, define several new accessible color ramps, and thoroughly update pretty much every single component in our design system? 🤯
A number of people have asked me recently about how we handle design exercises in our process for hiring product designers @figmadesign, and particularly about how we handle them while remote. Quick thread 👇
First, we don't do take-home exercises. We did ~2 yrs ago in cases where people didn't have enough work in their portfolio, but we've promptly stopped. If @michaelbierut can hire an epic design team for over 29 years from portfolios and 1:1s, why can't we?
