🧵 We created a "harness" for product work at Figma. Originally for PMs, but now in use by ~half a dozen other functions. Here’s a bit about how it works:

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.

I'm excited to share Code Layers are available today in Figma Sites! I'm excited for people to build rich, interactive ideas for their sites either with Code or using AI. Huge shoutout to the team, it was an incredible amount of work and there's more to come!
