Thomas Lowry (Designer Advocate, Figma) on what happens when you open the entire design process to the greater cross-functional team, what he’s learned from talking to hundreds of design teams, and shares some of his own experiences of working on Figma at Figma.
Dylan Field, CEO of Figma, reflects on the conference, Figma community, open design, and some key themes that emerged from a collective discussion.
A large set of cute free and open-source illustrations.
Great Ask-Me-Anything at Designer News with Noah Levin, Design Director at Figma. He answers questions about sourcing new design hires, interview process at Figma, internal and external transparency, latest product announcements, and more.
Bonnie Kate Wolf shares an illustration from her workshop, where you can create different scenes by swapping components.
Figma introduced remixes to community projects — now you can duplicate a file and publish your version of it as a remix. (That may sound familiar if you remember Layer Tennis or rebounds at Dribbble.)
Great interview with CEO of Figma on the design process, collaboration, company’s mission, and design system.
Director of Product at Figma Sho Kuwamoto asks a fundamental question. There are dozens of responses from the community, but don’t miss Dylan Field’s thread.

Figma COO Amanda Kleha talks about different ways of connecting with and serving the community — Config user conference, meetups, ways to follow the company, and a beta of Figma Community.
Good to know, I faced this issue a few times before and chose to outline strokes, but this is not always possible or ideal.
Figure this Figma exporting issue out! It doesn't export properly when you have mixed caps and joins.
