Mihika Kapoor is a design-engineer-PM hybrid at Figma, where she was an early PM on FigJam and is now spearheading development on a new product at the company that’s coming out this June. She’s known as the go-to person at Figma for leading new 0-to-1 products, and, as you’ll hear in our conversation, beloved by everyone she works with. Her background includes founding Design Nation, a national nonprofit focused on democratizing design education for undergraduates; spearheading product launches at Meta; and community building within the NYC AI startup scene. In our conversation, we discuss:
Mihika Kapoor 是 Figma 的設計工程師兼 PM 混合體,她是 FigJam 的早期 PM,現在正在該公司帶頭開發將於今年 6 月推出的新產品。她被稱為 Figma 領導 0 對 1 新產品的首選人物,正如您將在我們的談話中聽到的那樣,她深受與她合作的每個人的喜愛。她的背景包括創立 Design Nation,這是一家專注於使本科生設計教育民主化的全國性非營利組織;在 Meta 率先推出產品;以及紐約市人工智慧創業場景中的社區建設。在我們的對話中,我們討論:

Some takeaways: 一些要點:
Putting ideas out there, even if they are wrong, can lead to better solutions and more productive discussions. It’s not just about having a great idea or building a prototype; it’s about actively engaging and rallying others around that idea to create momentum and excitement. Whether it’s pitching ideas at events like hackathons or simply asking colleagues for assistance, the key is to not let perceived limitations hold you back from pursuing your vision.
把想法放在那裡,即使它們是錯誤的,也可以帶來更好的解決方案和更有成效的討論。這不僅僅是有一個好主意或構建一個原型;這是關於圍繞這個想法積极參與和團結其他人,以創造動力和興奮。無論是在駭客馬拉松等活動中提出想法,還是只是向同事尋求幫助,關鍵是不要讓感知到的局限性阻礙你追求自己的願景。Mihika likens the role of a 0-to-1 team within a large company to that of Hestia in Greek mythology, who is the “keeper of the hearth.” It is Hestia’s job to always keep the hearth burning, even while other gods go out on separate quests. This means always keeping the 0-to-1 project alive and helping it spread to others, mostly through setting vision and building hype.
Mihika 將大公司中0對1團隊的角色比作希臘神話中的赫斯提亞,赫斯提亞是“壁爐的守護者”。赫斯提亞的工作是始終保持爐膛燃燒,即使其他神靈外出執行不同的任務。這意味著始終保持 0 對 1 專案的活力並説明它傳播給其他人,主要是通過設定願景和建立炒作。To set the vision for a new idea, ask: “If I and my team do our job correctly, what does the world look like?” Then convey the pain point, solution, and proof in a format that can “show, not tell” stakeholders what you’re doing. For example, use prototypes, Figma mock-ups, and customer testimonials.
要為一個新想法設定願景,請問:“如果我和我的團隊正確地完成了我們的工作,世界會是什麼樣子?然後,以一種可以“展示而不是告訴”利益相關者您在做什麼的格式傳達痛點、解決方案和證明。例如,使用原型、Figma 模型和客戶推薦。Internal hackathons are a great way to encourage innovation. Figma has a Maker Week where the entire company—including technical and non-technical employees—goes on pause for a week to work on ambitious ideas. Maker Week and other internal hackathons have led to many successful Figma products, including Jambot and Figma’s entire widget platform.
內部駭客馬拉松是鼓勵創新的好方法。Figma 有一個創客周,整個公司(包括技術和非技術員工)都會暫停一周,以制定雄心勃勃的想法。Maker Week 和其他內部駭客馬拉松催生了許多成功的 Figma 產品,包括 Jambot 和 Figma 的整個小部件平臺。Figma implements a fun “hot seat” tradition, where each person takes turns being in the hot seat for a set amount of time. During their turn, the person can be asked anything by the other members of the group. By understanding what motivates each team member and building strong relationships, collaboration becomes more effective, leading to a more enjoyable work environment and ultimately better outcomes for the product or project. The key is to create a comfortable and friendly atmosphere where everyone feels open to sharing.
Figma實施了一個有趣的“熱座”傳統,每個人都輪流坐在熱座上一段時間。在輪到他們時,小組的其他成員可以向該人提出任何要求。通過瞭解每個團隊成員的動機並建立牢固的關係,協作變得更加有效,從而帶來更愉快的工作環境,並最終為產品或項目帶來更好的結果。關鍵是要創造一個舒適友好的氛圍,讓每個人都願意分享。Make time for fun! “Play” is one of Figma’s core values, and Mihika makes a concerted effort to have enjoyable team gatherings. When people have fun together, they get to know each other more deeply and can feel more appreciated within the group. One tradition Mihika’s team uses is “The Figgies.” The team gathers to give out absurd awards for things like “most likely to go their entire career without writing a PRD.”
騰出時間玩樂!“玩”是 Figma 的核心價值觀之一,Mihika 齊心協力舉辦愉快的團隊聚會。當人們在一起玩得開心時,他們會更深入地瞭解彼此,並在團隊中感到更加欣賞。Mihika的團隊使用的一個傳統是“The Figgies”。該團隊聚集在一起,為諸如“最有可能的整個職業生涯都不寫珠三角”之類的事情頒發荒謬的獎項。
