#Miguel Cardona

Great team activity from Miggie — build a gingerbread house using the provided virtual gingerbread cookies and sweets. In the end, you can even make your own card.

Ana and Miggie are back streaming their experiments with Figma prototypes. This time they cover drag interactions and video among other things.

A Twitch stream of Ana Boyer and Miggi Cardona diving deep into Figma prototyping.

Copy-pasting objects from FigJam to Figma never disappoints.

Miggi shows how to do hanging opening quotes with Auto Layout.

A super useful tip by Miggi. The power of combining FigJam with Figma always keeps surprising me.

Easy and fast way to access a pre-defined color palette in FigJam.

Miguel with a few useful shortcuts for adjusting font size, weight, letter spacing, and line height.

Miggi with a mind-blowing trick for selecting items inside of the tight spots.

Miggi shows how to create a FigJam file, maximize the FigJam collaboration features, navigate the FigJam toolbar, add text, images, and stickers to your file, use sections for organization, and finally, how to invite others to your FigJam file.

Miggi shows how to use images as masks.

Miggi shows how to make a reusable and flexible tooltip component set using Auto Layout, absolute positioning, constraints, and component properties.

Miggi plays with component properties, Auto Layout slots method, and Interactive Components to make some fun modular content prototypes.

Another great shortcut from Miggie to avoid going into the advanced type settings menu — click on the “Fixed size” icon while holding Option (Alt) to enable truncated text. (With so much free space to the right, I wonder what’s the justification for hiding this option in the menu.)

Miggie with a pro tip on Auto Layout — typing in “auto” as the spacing value will change the spacing mode from Packed to Space Between.

Another drawing challenge from Miguel. Love the simplicity of his approach and how well the icon has turned out.

How would you create a spiral in Figma without any external tools? Miggi’s answer is in the thread, but some of the solutions from others are really smart and creative too!

Bruno Figueiredo talks to Miguel Cardona about his journey to the world of design, work at Figma, and design education.

Super useful tip from Miguel — use Option-W/A/S/D shortcuts (which you may know from gaming) to align elements or points in vector networks. The latter is going to be a massive time-saver for me!

Miggi shows his process of writing in small chunks using FigJam. Love how flexible and multi-faceted this product is!
