Dylan is the co-founder and CEO of Figma. I asked him some tough
questions on whether AI can learn taste, how he plans to compete
with AI startups, and whether design systems constrain
creativity. Two thirds of Figma users are now non-designers and
it was also super interesting to hear Dylan talk about where he’s
taking Figma next.

We talked about:

(00:00) Taste, craft, and point of view: the 3 skills AI can't
replace

(05:33) Can AI agents actually learn design taste?

(13:02) Figma MCP to go from design to code and back

(17:42) What vibe coding gets wrong about design

(22:17) Two thirds of Figma users are now non-designers

(29:13) The one trait Dylan hires for over AI fluency

(32:01) Why Dylan thinks design is the new code

(36:32) Dylan's personal AI workflow for writing and ideation
