Why Trump just hired Airbnb’s cofounder, Figma’s big moment, and the Cracker Barrel logo that everyone hates

President Trump just created the National Design Studio and tapped Airbnb co-founder Joe Gebbia to lead the charge. Cracker Barrel has offended or enraged just about everyone with its new logo. Figma hit Wall Street with a bang.

It’s been a big month for design. And on this episode of By Design, hosts Liz Stinson and Mark Wilson give the rundown of the latest news before talking with Figma chief design officer Yuhki Yamashita just after the company’s super successful IPO.

Yuhki shares where Figma goes from here and how he’s thinking about design products in the age of AI and vibe coding.

Then, we’ll round things out the best and worst designs of the month as Teenage Engineering, Apple, A24, and AOL battle for the crown (or not).
