Figma’s Dylan Field on the Future of Design

Figma’s Dylan Field on the Future of Design

Dylan Field is the co-founder and CEO of Figma, a design software company that went public in July 2025. Founded in 2012, Figma transformed how people design, prototype, and build products together. After a $20 billion acquisition attempt by Adobe collapsed in 2022 because of regulators, Dylan helped Figma rebound stronger than ever. Just three years later, Figma listed its shares at nearly $20 billion and its stock price more than tripled on its first trading day.

A few highlights:

Expanding a sleepy market

Merging of designers and product roles

Counter-narrative to polarizing CEOs

If models get better, we have to

Remembering Brat Summer
