(slight old news but) I joined Figma as a design manager leading FigJam and Slides last week! Awed by the humans that make up this company and can't wait to add to the quirky energy both the products and its makers already radiate.
Designers wear a lot of black bc: - We believe there is beauty in simplicity - We’ll never be happy with any choice so might as well pick the one that matches everything - Perfect for getting murdered in crit
1.5 years later, I copped another promotion!!! Incredibly thankful for the role models at my company who believe and invest in my growth. To many more years of learning and giving that same generosity back to those around me 🙏
I got a promotion this week! 😭🥺 And my manager timed champagne to be delivered exactly when he gave me the news. That is next level thoughtfulness.
To anyone who want to mentor but feel under-qualified: sometimes beginners are better at teaching than veterans! With more clarity on which areas need extra attention, less usage of jargon, and an overall more welcoming attitude, beginners can be stellar mentors.
