How do you make something you have no idea how to make? Short answer - you don’t know… and that's a very good thing. This is the story of two guys: a pharmacologist from Canada, and a graphic designer in Italy, who built a hardware company despite not knowing anything about building hardware, and ended up creating Figma’s first-ever hardware product – just three short years after starting. Come discover how to leverage what you don’t know, into building something great you never thought you could.
