I've had a challenging year, but this Figma update has made my day. It can only go up from here!
(and now... a design systems moment you've all been waiting for...)

Today we're announcing our second employee tender offer. We passed $100m ARR earlier this year and now have more than 40,000 paying customers. The tender lets our teammates participate in that success at a $2.5B valuation: linear.app/now/sharing-growt…

Last week was my final week at Perplexity. After nearly four years of full‑speed, labor‑of‑love work, I felt ready to pass the baton. I’m excited to share that @scspeier will lead the design team going forward. There are many things I’m proud of, but most of all I’m proud of the design culture at Perplexity. It fosters boldness, creativity, trust, and, most importantly, real impact. Everyone on the team lives our brand’s values, embodying curiosity and a love of learning. I have no doubt this culture will not only endure but continue to grow as the company evolves under Sebastian’s stewardship. ····

Web typography just got a huge upgrade.
My dear front-end developers (and anyone who’s interested in the future of interfaces): I have crawled through depths of hell to bring you, for the foreseeable years, one of the more important foundational pieces of UI engineering (if not in implementation then certainly at least in concept): Fast, accurate and comprehensive userland text measurement algorithm in pure TypeScript, usable for laying out entire web pages without CSS, bypassing DOM measurements and reflow

New York’s hottest club is BYOB at Perpexlity’s new office. It’ll have all vibes from IYKYK to LOL, but no recruiters.
We're back with BYOB, but this time in the 🍎. We’re hosting an event at our NYC office to create a space for coming together to share and talk about design. Much of design history and inspiration lives in books, making it harder to discover online. So, bring a book and share something that inspires you. Join the waitlist 🫒 luma.com/e5xnylu2

Every time I see the Cursor logo, I think of Battlestar Galactica and how much that show ended too soon
we have logo 3 variants – fully shaded, flat shaded, new monochrome they have all been refined

I had to step away for a family emergency this past week and passed the baton to other designers at @perplexity_ai. Catching back up and the projects were better than I left them. Love this crack team of designers!

From what I can tell, everyone is locking in Sept-Dec 2025. It’s going to be an amazing year.

Very cool to see Perplexity is #4 in top productivity apps. And right below the Gmail app, which @henrymodis and I worked on back in the day

I’m camera shy, so I only trust Perplexity designers to take photos of me. And it’s a 100% chance it’ll be a Leica or Fuji X camera
pulled out the leica to capture a few moments with @perplexity_ai design team and bts with @designertom

That's a wrap. I spent 48 hours with @perplexity_ai + @PPLXsupply + @PerplexityComet design team. Some serious concentration of talent in one building. Looking forward to telling this story.
