Here are the key highlights: ✨ Responsive Prototyping ✨ Smarter Auto-layout ✨ New UI ✨ Focus Mode for Devs ✨ Pages in FigJam ✨ FIGMA SLIDES!!! And last but definitely not least, Figma AI – a powerful tool that might feel daunting for aspiring designers. My take? Embrace these tools, learn from them, and use them to enhance your skills, not replace the foundational learning. 🌟 Thanking cove.tool for providing me with the opportunity to attend this event!

The most awaited Figma CONFIG is here! 🎉 Let me share my virtual badge quickly to express how thrilled I am to be attending CONFIG virtually for 2 consecutive years now. 🤩 I can't wait to see what's next in design innovation, & inspiring talks from industry experts around the world. #figmaconfig2024 #virtualbadge

“Hi, Diego! we want to build this new feature which will allow our users to do XYZ” Me, 2 days after explaining user flows on a FigJam board: ________ Figma - #uxdesign #productdesign #figma

Working on technology requires you to feel confortable being a leader AND a learner. You better be updated if you want to understand what are your teammates and stakeholders needs. How do you expect to manage a project if you are not able to realise how their ideas can bring value to the product? Learn from your colleagues, but not just from them. Look for those tools and knowledge that will bring you one step closer to your teammates perspective. This time I bring an UX/UI hint to help you on belahf of this cause. Figma is going to host Config Conference and we can take part on it for free and on line. 🌟🤩🌟 There will be several product designers and engineers sharing their thoughs and experience with us. I'll be attending on: ✔ Advocating and designing for human needs ✔ Staying human in the age of distraction ✔ Building products and growing teams Why don't you take a look at the website, and make your choices?! #productdesign #productmanagement #projectmanagement

Attending the #CONFIG2024 watch party event last night in Stockholm was quite an experience – like riding a roller coaster 🎢 Figma highlighted an exciting array of innovations, among many great features and improvements to our dear #AutoLayout, and aids to build better #DesignSystems, they launched something that I have been anticipating for a long: #FigmaSlides - this is a game-changer that hints pretty well that Figma is here for the big tech game. And then there's #FigmaAI, which shook the ground. Picture having an AI assistant that can suggest layouts, generate design variations and context-based content, and even help remove unwanted elements effortlessly. Sounds like something useful, right? However, organisations must use AI carefully. Figma's tools can significantly boost efficiency but, cannot replace the human touch. Creativity, empathy and context understanding are aspects of design that AI cannot replicate. Without these human elements, the potential of these tools is greatly diminished. So I leave a question here: Are organisations ready for Figma AI? Are they prepared to integrate these tools responsibly, maintain the invaluable human aspects of design, and keep design teams altogether?  As human designers, we certainly are. __ Link to CONFIG's official page:

Last week, Darlane Batista and I attended CONFIG in San Francisco. It was a very exciting and inspiring experience for us. It was fantastic for us as professionals to be immersed in our community, connect with fellow designers, sharing experiences, and getting inspired to keep making impact with design. Some quick takeaways that are valuable to highlight: 📌 Figma's new AI features: Figma announced mind-blowing AI features that promise to enhance our design process and save time on prototyping.They also improved Dev Mode, which will be super helpful for collaborating with the dev team and getting styling implemented more efficiently. 📌 Launch of Figma Slides: Figma's new product, Figma Slides, allows us to embed interactive prototypes in presentations. This will be a game-changer for startups like ours, enabling us to share our product vision through immersive experiences. 📌 Insightful Talks: The talks touched a lot on the AI hype (and how overloaded it's getting), focusing on delivering a better quality experience for our customers, and offering great insights about the new era of product management, like paying attention to how your customers are hacking your product (just like how Figma Slides came about). We are looking forward to putting our learnings into practice with our team at Stellar Fusion. #CONFIG2024 #Figma

🚀 Super pumped about all the updates introduced at Config 2024! While I couldn't attend in person, the virtual session was packed with insights and exciting developments. 🌟 Learned a lot about Figma's future, including new features and updates in Dev Mode, FigJam, and the most exciting Figma Slides (expect to see a lot of animations in presentations!). The introduction of Figma AI took everyone by surprise. It sparked a mix of excitement and uncertainty, but it's a reminder that AI isn't daunting. Instead, I am glad it provides a starting point. We still need critical research and compelling stories to build around it. Temporary skills might fade, but a deep understanding of the discipline and the ability to make decisive decisions in UX and interaction will always be essential. Looking forward to meeting a talented community of designers, engineers, and entrepreneurs at the next Config conference. Can't wait to see where we go from here! #Config2024 #FigmaUpdates #DesignCommunity #FigmaAI #FutureOfDesign
