Kevin Tufts is the real deal when it comes to tech and design. With over two decades of experience working across a number of companies in the Bay Area \u2014 Lyft, SendGrid, and Twilio, to name a few \u2014 he\u2019s now a product designer at Meta working on their Creation team. So believe me, we had a LOT to talk about.\n\nOur conversation begin with a look at the current climate inside Meta (pre-Threads, FYI), and he gave some thoughts on where the company is going as it approaches its 20th anniversary. From there, Kevin talked about his path to becoming a product designer, and we took a trip down memory lane recalling the early days of web design and what it was like working during such rapidly changing times. He also spoke on what he loves about product design now, and how he wants to help the next generation of designers through mentorship.\n\nKevin\u2019s secrets to success are simple: seize opportunities for growth where you can, embrace collaboration, and remain flexible. Now that\u2019s something I think we could all take to heart!
