![From Uber to Apple to new design founder
If I told you someone had a background as a senior designer at companies like Uber, Dropbox, Apple, and Patreon then youd be pretty impressed, right?
Same.
But Adam Noffsinger (https://x.com/ANoffsinger) walked away from all of that to start Alma] https://www.alma.food/) (which you might remember from the Smith+Diction episode (https://youtu.be/Jhxx6yK2J08?feature=shared&t=2131)).
So this episode is a deep dive into what it *really* looks like to go 0→1 as a design founder.
Adam even walks us through his Figma file for Alma (https://www.alma.food/) so if you’re interesting in startups or designing something from nothing, then I think you’ll really enjoy this conversation 👇
