We sat down with Mamoon Hamid (@mamoonha) to trace Figma’s leap from a five-year beta project to the default canvas on every designer’s screen. "The company had been around 5 years and they were just coming out of beta." "You'd see people in coffee shops, the designer types using @figma just like three, four, five years prior, you'd see Slack on people's screens." "I remember asking Dylan to show me this one chart, the L28. It's a histogram, it's kind of nerdy. It showed that at day 14, 15, 16 out of 28 days, many of the users were using it for like every day of the work week. Which meant that effectively if you're a designer, you were using Figma to get your work done."
