Key facts
Early Career
Office Drama’s introduction traces her career through Google and Adept, followed by Figma and OpenAI.[1]
January 2025Joining Figma
On January 27, 2025, she announced that she had joined Figma’s new AI team as a product manager.[2]
She later described herself as Figma Make’s founding product manager, working from its early concept through its Config launch and subsequent expansion.[3]
June 2025Interactive Prototypes
Figma highlighted her music-player prototype: she organized its auto-layout structure in the design file before using a single prompt to generate the interaction.[4]
September 2025Copy Design
When Figma introduced Copy design, she demonstrated moving a Make preview into Figma Design as editable layers for further refinement.[5]
December 2025Prototypes and Collaboration
A Figma article on product workflows described her team comparing scrolling behavior through interactive prototypes, making discussions and decisions more concrete.[6]
September 29, 2026OpenAI Demonstration
At OpenAI DevDay, she demonstrated her personal agent Dottie, including delegating a colleague’s Slack request and involving agents in team collaboration.[7]
The demonstration also encountered a failure. Futurism reported that a voice request about user testing remained unanswered for an extended interval; she responded to the wait with a joke.[8]
OpenAI presented Dots as agents capable of ongoing work, with user-defined permissions and approval boundaries. These describe the product’s intended role and controls.[9]
