taste Whether good and bad exist in made things, and how a maker comes to tell them apart.

    Co-founder and chief executive of Figma

    I think the best, you know, designers on the product side can turn it on and off. They can go, I have my own taste. I know what I like. And then, okay, you're going for this. And that might be different than what I like, but I can match it brand as well.
