Andrei Herasimchuk - The 1st designer at Adobe

Did you know that the very first interface designer at Adobe was also the first designer to work on Figma? 🤯

His name is Andrei Herasimchuk and he knows a lot about design tooling…

So this week’s episode is jam-packed with stories about designing the earliest interfaces for Illustrator and Photoshop, as well as what it was like seeing the original seed of an idea that became Figma.

Not only that… Andrei gives us a behind-the-scenes of his new design tooling startup and shares his vision for where software creation is headed next 👀

Some highlights to expect:

  • How AI fits into his new product strategy
  • The bizarre story of Andrei’s first day at Adobe
  • The 3 types of designers that will exist in the future
  • What it was like joining Figma as the first designer in 2012
  • How Andrei defined the initial keyboard shortcuts in design tools
  • The #1 trait of designers he’s worked with over the last 3 decades
  • When to break out of the familiar interaction patterns for design tooling
  • a lot more

  • Bryan Lamkin was Andrei’s first manager at Adobe
  • Mark Hamburg was who he collaborated with on the original keyboard shortcuts
