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.”

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.”

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.”

“In this tip, learn about maintaining component libraries and enabling more seamless contributions from consuming design teams by using Branching.”

“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!”

Designmodo on how to export Figma designs to websites using a no-code tool Siter​.io.

Dennis Cortes goes over his approach to building scalable components in Figma using Variants, Variant Groups, and Auto Layout. This video touches on the basics, from definitions of each feature to more advanced methods of building out different types of variants in Figma.

“In this video, we will guide you on how to select a single frame from a Lottie animation from the LottieFiles Library and export it to Figma. Then, we will use this new SVG and place it as part of our UI and animate it in Figma using the prototype feature.”

Nadia Sotnikova on how to edit layers in bulk to ensure consistent naming in the design system.

“Utilize the power of slots and Figma’s native instance swapping capabilities to customize component content without ever needing to detach component instances ever again.”

Learn how objects will position when using copy and paste in Figma.

Miguel is demonstrating the new copy and paste capabilities.

Luis talks to Santosh Komaragiri from Dataguard, who showed how they manage their Figma workspace. Their team has built some incredibly detailed product, marketing, and brand design systems which shows how you can take Figma to new levels of usage.

Zander posts short and fun Instagram videos about using Figma.

“Getting started building your design system can be a lot to take on, which is why we thought we’d bring in Steve Dennie from Onfido. They’ve been doing excellent work in the space and their Team, Project, and File organization is a delight.”

Quick tips from Ana Boyer on how to use a Figma community file with the Batch Styler and Similayer plugins to quickly build a custom design system.

Cool to finally see an official video from Figma on using this hidden technique! See also my old article Using Constraints with Layout Grids in Figma, explaining the same approach.

Miggi shows how to use audio and cursor chat in Figma and FigJam. Audio is only available on paid and education plans. Cursor chat is available both in Figma and FigJam, while high-fives are only part of the FigJam for now.

New introductory videos from Figma, with four parts focused on exploring ideas, creating designs, building prototypes, and preparing files for handoff.
