I've decided to leave Figma, and today was my last day! I'm excited to share what's next, but before then, I want to say I'm so grateful for the team here, the quality of the craft I got to experience, and above all else, the people. Craft really comes down to people caring. Caring about the little things, the edge cases, the details some may never see. People at Figma truly cared about that at every level, and it was one of my favorite aspects about working there. I cannot unlearn it; it's such a lucky thing to be a part of, and I'll be rooting for them! More on where I'm going next soon, but until then, a well-needed break.
