Huge news — beyond stoked to welcome @loredanacrisan as Chief Design Officer @Figma; a unique and exciting role I believe will be increasingly common as design becomes more and more central to building world class products and lasting companies. I’m thrilled to continue this incredible journey with this amazing team with Loredana at the helm. Her appreciation for craft, storytelling, simplifying complexity, and genuine care for people makes her a terrific fit. Let’s do this! 🥳
Design has always been about removing the unnecessary so the essential can shine. @Figma embraced this from the start, becoming the canvas where the world’s most creative teams shape products for billions. I was fortunate to lead one of these teams at Meta for nearly a decade. Now, AI carries design into its most empowered chapter yet: where tedium fades while taste, exploration, and play take center stage. I’m honored to join Figma as CDO, partnering with @nlevin, @damiencorrell, and Viral Shah to evolve how we create, collaborate and build in this new world.

A sentence often looks like a paragraph on a mobile phone. So, each word you choose is important. @STahran at #BTConf

@STahran is talking about the important distinction between sentence case and title case, and I honestly feel so seen right now. #smashingconf #ux
