Yo! S3E2 - Rogie King

Rogie King is a larger than life designer who rides the intersection of art and code. For decades he has carving up digital screens, producing the most delicious pixel treats. Each layered with subtle details and personality. We chat about his designer advocate role at Figma, what makes a good community, how to get started with your first Figma plugins, what he'd do if he took over Dribbble and we rank the all time horror film greats in a brand new intermission called Rogie's Fright Night.
