Impressive hyper-realistic prototype of a calendar made with interactive components.
Behind the system: A showcase of files that inspire us
“Ever wonder how other companies set up their Figma files? Joel Miller from Figma will take us behind the scenes and provide tips, tricks, and examples you can implement today.” See also a Twitter thread with all the resources that Joel shared.
Design system change management
Hugo Raymond, Burberry. “How can we better understand the context of our Design Systems among our broader product teams? Join us to learn Burberry’s approach, including how to best work with engineers, standardise and understand shared context for reusability, and how to think about both strict and loose frameworks of adoption.”
The Governance of Design Systems
Heldiney Pereira, Monzo. “We all spend time reflecting on structures of design systems, but have we invested enough understanding the governance of those systems? Join Heldiney as he digs into the different models available to run and scale design systems globally.”
Design systems panel discussion
“Figma’s Designer Advocate Luis Ouriach has been collecting your questions in chat and online. He’ll dig in with our speakers to tackle design systems questions big and small.”
Material You and Figma
Ivy Knight and Rody Davis, Google. “Material You is enabling a new level of individuality across interfaces. But how does dynamic color interact with the distinct brand expression in your design system? In this session, we’ll dive into the NEW Figma plugin for generating dynamic color schemes and see those changes reflected throughout your app's UI.”
Building custom Figma plugins
Kelly Gorr and Prasanna Gunuru, Microsoft. “Figma is a powerful design tool that is used by many designers across Microsoft. Building custom Figma plugins can unlock new capabilities, resources, and shortcuts that are tailored to enhance design processes. Kelly and Prasanna take you through what it’s like building Figma plugins and how they are used at Microsoft.”
Design tokens on Asana’s Design Systems team
Jina Anne, Ivy Wang, and Ainsley Wagoner from Asana. “This talk is about how the Asana Design Systems team uses design tokens to get designers and engineers working at the same level of abstraction. We will talk about how Figma’s design system tooling, along with design tokens, enables us to make the redundant parts of designing more streamlined so that we can focus on solving design problems.”
User-centered design system resources
Jeremy Dizon, Runi Goswami, Michael Yom, and Joanne Deng from Lyft. “Like any product, a design system is only as useful as it is usable. In this session, the Lyft Design Systems team will share the end-to-end resources that enable their system users to build consistent, quality products and features at scale. We’ll learn about their most resilient processes, their past mistakes, their new-ish contribution model, and more.”
Reimagining Atlassian design system
Jennie Yip, Atlassian. “Design systems have evolved into robust ecosystems of interconnected tooling, documentation, conceptual models, and more. We’re excited to bring you on a journey to celebrate and reflect on the past decade as we shift our mindsets, apply systems thinking, take on the monster of scale, and embrace the complexity of “platform.””
Mastering the art of code — aligned UI kits
Jan Toman, Productboard. “Not sure where to start? Get your libraries off the ground by learning how to craft UI kits that designers will love using. We'll dive into building flexible components, aligning their API with code, and dealing with changes as the design system evolves.”
Guidance over governance
Jen Yee and Luca Orio, Netflix. “Jen and Luca will reveal how systems and freedoms can coexist and how your design community can thrive at any stage. Letting go of consistency and control might sound scary, but embracing a culture of context and trust is the key to supporting an ecosystem where collaborative creation can truly fuel innovation.”
Conference Kickoff
Sho Kuwamoto, Director of Product at Figma. “Join Sho as he kicks off our inaugural Schema conference with opening remarks. Tune in for his reflections on how design systems have grown and changed and how us system designers can help shape a better, more inclusive future.”
Collaborative design system contributions
“In this tip, learn about maintaining component libraries and enabling more seamless contributions from consuming design teams by using Branching.”
Intro to FigJam: How to brainstorm with an online whiteboard
“FigJam is an online whiteboard for teams to ideate and brainstorm together. Purpose-built for the earliest stages of design, FigJam makes everything from discovery to design sprints easier and more fun — whether you’re working alone or collaborating with your extended team. Let’s see how we can use FigJam collaboratively in an online brainstorming session!”
