Candidates applied for this role IN the past 2 weeks.

 

Many seemed worthy...

But here,

Portfolio’s vanish

from memory;

Prestige

loses it’s

luster;

Pedigree,

just a siren song.

To navigate

where none will go,

An internal compass

is required...

one that’s proven with 100 million viral impressions world-wide, gaining national recognition at every stage.

👋 I’m mark samsonovich

ABOUT ME:

I’m an interdisciplinary designer, artist, and entrepreneur. I have pursued many mediums throughout my lifetime, seeking mastery in each of them. I’m now looking towards new beginnings, where I can lend my craft to a world class environment as an early career product designer at Figma.

WHAT MAKES ME DIFFERENT?

There will certainly be senior candidates that have more case studies, and better ones than mine. There will be Ivy Leaguers that impress on pedigree alone, and those that hail with experience from top 10 companies. I have none of those. But what I have that they likely do not is a proven ability to routinely create products that resonate with millions of people, on pure meritocratic organic virality, across multiple mediums and industries. If you’re looking for someone that can round off existing talent angles within your team and contribute a unique world-class design perspective, then I would be honored to bring that to Figma.

WHY CHOOSE FIGMA?

At the core of my design practice is a belief that design is not merely a vehicle for functionality and aesthetics, but a medium of consciousness — one that shapes how people think, feel, and interact with the world. From building early e-commerce sites to pursuing socially driven technology, producing films, making viral art, and launching nationally recognized design ventures, I’ve spent my career creating experiences that resonate and reimagine how we engage with the world around us. I’m seeking a company that values that instinct for inventiveness and impact, and I see no better place to help evolve the creative infrastructure of the 21st century than through contributions and collaboration at Figma.
