Founding Story
Evan Wallace co-founded Figma alongside Dylan Field. As the absolute technical genius of the duo, Wallace spent years building incredibly complex WebGL infrastructure that allowed a full, high-performance vector graphics editor to run smoothly directly inside a web browser—a technical feat that Adobe had completely failed to achieve. He left the company in 2021 after setting the architectural foundation for its massive success. Evan Wallace was born in 1989.
