Joining Jenny and many others virtually at the Figma #Config2024 conference. Today's discussion is all about Design Quality and Brand. How do you determine a design golden era?

Just returned to Houston from an incredible week at Config 2024, and I'm still buzzing with inspiration! A huge shoutout to Kimberlea B. and Jordan Scott; you truly delivered an unforgettable experience for Friends of Figma leaders. 💕 Congrats to Figma for putting together such a seamless event that fostered learning and collaboration. Words can not describe how amazing it was, but here are my highlights. Favorite new feature: Ya'll Figma AI names your layers for you! (Figma slides or Flides came in at a close second place) Best breakout talk: (Out of the ones that I attended) From paper to pixels: Why great Ideas start on a napkin: Raphael Schaad.

Figma fun fact that I learned: Figma employees are nicknamed Figmates Steps walked: 28,079 in 2 days! Charms I still need to collect: Blue star, brown square and pink square Beginner's mistake I learned from: I have to step up my confit game next year. I'm so blessed to have participated in this year's Config, and I look forward to applying what I've learned in my work! #figfam Christina Louie, Katherine A. Chiu, Tanisa I., Monica Shin, Carlos A.

Figma Config is two weeks away. I'd recommend attending virtually, as there is substantial change and acceleration happening to the way design, product, and development work. For builders, a few key sessions I'm excited about are below. It is free to attend virtually. https://lnkd.in/dQpriJF9 Day 1: "Building and the Craft of Figma" "Building for Developers" "Enhancing Product Experiences with AI" "Extending Figma with the Plugin API" Day 2: "Scaling Up Design Systems" "Building Products and Growing Teams" "Bringing the Craft Back to Product" "Figma New Feature Deep Dives"

🚀 Exciting News for Design System Teams! 🚀 Figma's Dev Mode has revolutionized our approach to building scalable design systems, proving to be an invaluable tool for enhancing team collaboration and streamlining the design-to-development handoff process. Since integrating Dev Mode into our workflow, we've witnessed a significant boost in productivity: 📈 - A 50% reduction in documentation time for designers. - An extra 3-4 hours per week for developers to focus on coding. Dev Mode has not only facilitated a more efficient workflow but also reduced the need for lengthy meetings and clarified initial documentation, leading to fewer reworks and bug fixes in the long run. Read more about why design system teams love Dev Mode! Linked in comments.

"Embarking on a new chapter! One of the very first things I created using figma on my process of learning. Excited to share my passion for designing, looking forward to meaningful connections. Let's connect and inspire each other on this professional journey! 🚀 #NewBeginnings #CareerAdventure"
