Watch Tim Van Damme design symbols for keyboard keycaps in the new Figma Draw.

Gary Simon shows how to create your own Figma Draw brushes by scanning physical samples or generating them with AI. He also offers 30 pre-made stretch brushes as a free resource.

Inga Hampton, a Product Designer at Raycast, and Noah McAskill, a Chief Doodler at NBA Paint, are challenged to draw each other’s portraits in Figma Draw. The reveal at 20:00 is my favorite part.

Whoa! Epic collab between Soleio and Indie​.vc. Six interviews with design pioneers and true first-of-kind designers — Henry Modisett, Colin Dunn, Jessica Hische, Julie Zhuo, Nicholas Jitkoff, and Susan Kare. Now I just need to set aside 7 hours to watch them all ASAP.

Ran Segall from Flux Academy shares his first impressions from using Figma Sites.

In this interview, Jay chats with Ian Guisard who leads design systems for Uber. You will learn how Ian creates new design system components, specs components for developer handoff, and more.

Miggi shows how to be more experimental and expressive with Figma Draw features like progressive layer blurs, texture, and a custom brush. Learn to pair these with Smart Animate prototyping, and you can come up with some novel effects.

“Recently, we introduced two new features for improving design & development collaboration. In this video, we’ll explore these new features and show how they can assist you during handoff. First, we added categories to our annotations features which makes it easier to communicate design intent and improves navigation for developers. Second, we added our new eyedropper tool to Dev Mode making it easy to copy color values, styles, and even code syntax.”

Figma created an entire hands-on course on designing a portfolio website from scratch. ​“We’ll cover the basics like shapes, text, and frames, and tap into more advanced features like auto layout, components, and prototyping. By the end, you’ll be ready to start bringing your own ideas to life.”

It’s wild that this conversation was happening at the same time across the street. Maybe Sir Jony Ive accidentally got to the wrong venue? Anyway, he doesn’t give many interviews, and Patrick Collison is a great interviewer, so I’m looking forward to watching this.

Theo with an interesting analysis of Figma Make and why it was introduced now.

“Figma is for practical business application.” The marketing team has been killing it with recent promo videos!

Whoa, that was fast! All talks from this year’s Config are already available on this YouTube playlist.

If you have time for only one thing, watch this Config 2025 opening keynote led by Dylan Field.

Miggi explains how to document your design work using Measurement and Annotation tools.

What a wonderful and heartful video by brand designer Devin Mathews. I enjoyed every minute of it and immediately subscribed to the channel — hope there is more to come! ​“I’ve designed for Apple, Nike, Google: some of the biggest and most influential companies in the world. After some reflection and a mini midlife crisis, I decided to take on my most ambitious project yet, rebranding a small local sandwich shop for free!”

“In this interview, Jay chats with Natasha Tenggoro who shows how she designed growth features for FigJam. We’ll learn about Natasha’s design process, Growth Design, designing upgrade flows and more.”

Jesse Showalter explores 5 latest features: Lock Aspect Ratio, Collapse Layers, Reorder Modes and Collections, Accessibility Contrast Information, and Copy and Paste Styles.

Jay chats with Natasha Tenggoro who shows how she designed AI features for Figma Slides. You will learn about Natasha’s design process, AI design, designing shadows, design explorations for Slides and more.

The recording of the latest Release Notes livestream is finally available. While these updates have already been covered in the last two issues, I always enjoy watching hands-on demos and explainers. In this episode, Luis Ouriach and Alexia Danton share all the latest goodies like FigPals (RIP), design handoff releases, accessibility contrast info, annotations in design mode, collapsing layers, reordering modes and collections, and more.
