WHAT I LEARNED WORKING AT FIGMA: PRIORITISING CRAFT

Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter

Figma built a culture that values craft, blending low ego with high care to foster honest feedback, early cross-functional collaboration, and regular team critique sessions. It prioritizes quality over strict deadlines, often delaying launches to refine details while staying in close touch with users. To build similar environments: open critiques to all roles, hire for humility and teamwork, and challenge timelines if quality falls short.
