Config 2025. Grids. Sites. Draw. Make. Buzz.
After spreading 20 hours of sleep across four nights in San Francisco and on the plane, I slept for 10 hours straight this Saturday. I never quite know how to describe the state I’m in after Config — physically exhausted, emotionally drained, yet my heart is full and I’m buzzing with excitement and optimism after spending three days with the most special community in the world.
Thank you to the readers who introduced themselves and said hi! (And to the one non-reader who came up to me because, apparently, I look like Casey Neistat?!) You proved that this newsletter is not being sent into the void. Huge thanks to Jordan, Anne, Rogie, and all the Figma folks who make being a guest at Config such a special experience. And of course, the biggest thanks to my Configmates — Molly, Christine, Socrates, Alex, and Jack — for all the walks, laughs, drinks, meals, and conversations. Most of us met at Config 2023, and each year since has felt like a friends’ reunion.
I’ll be traveling for work this week and taking next weekend off from the newsletter, so enjoy this longer post-Config issue — I’ll write to you again soon!
