As Google Docs did for word processing and GitHub for code, so Dylan Field’s Figma is doing for design. Field, 29, had spent the majority of the pandemic listening to Figma’s users. In June, the company raised $200 million from investors, valuing Figma at $10 billion. The test version of Figma’s product took years to launch, and many frustrated employees quit before it did. Most workdays, Field checks Twitter for mentions of Figma and design, or reads customer support tickets as they come in.
