In this podcast episode, Andrei Herasimchuk, the pioneer interface designer at Adobe and Figma, shares insights from his career and introduces his new startup, Selden. Andrei reflects on his first day at Adobe and the challenges he faced in harmonizing the interfaces of Photoshop, Illustrator, and PageMaker. He also discusses his role at Figma, where he contributed to creating essential design tools. Looking ahead, he envisions a future where design tools evolve from traditional objects to component-based systems, utilizing AI to enhance the design process and enable the creation of more advanced and customizable components. This evolution may lead to a deeper specialization within the design field, distinguishing those who tackle business challenges from those who concentrate on the technical aspects of component design and development.
