Inside the Minds: The impact of wellness on product design

If there's a universal truth to product design, it's that your end user is a human, with wants, needs and feelings. So, how can we apply cognitive science to design to craft a positive human experience? Join two pros from Universal Music Group - Tara Venkatesan, Director of Cognitive Science Research and Miranda Seidl, Senior Product Designer - as we discuss the impact of designing products with wellness in mind.

Office hours: Principles of effective communication

Good design tells a compelling story. How you convey that story can significantly impact its resonance with your audience. In this webinar, our Designer Advocates will guide you through communicating effectively through story-driven presentations. They will also share insights and techniques to up-level your slide designs to make your presentations and decks more compelling. As always, we’ll save room for a live Q&A with the audience and send the recording to all opted-in registrants within a week of the stream.

Inside the Minds: Redesigning transportation with Volvo Trucks & Code and Theory

Modern trucks are not only made for transportation; they are also optimized for drivers’ work and living spaces. That’s why for the launch of the new Volvo VNL truck, a model more than 20 years in making, Volvo Trucks wanted to offer customers a more personalized and easy-to-use experience for their long-haul journeys.

Join us as we chat with teams from Volvo Trucks and Code and Theory about how Figma powers their collaboration and the redesign for volvotrucks.us and in-vehicle experiences.

Office hours: How we build and scale our Design System

How does Figma build and scale their design systems?

Figma recently launched UI3, the third significant redesign of the product since we launched in closed beta over a decade ago. This update required an internal overhaul, including precise component conversion, extensive mapping of changes, and coordination across multiple teams. In this livestream, Wayne Sun (Product Designer, Figma) and Ryhan Hassan (Product Designer, Figma), will provide an inside look at how we’ve developed an internal design system that supports multiple brands—from the Figma editor and FigJam to Dev Mode and the newly launched Figma Slides.

Join us for an exclusive behind-the-scenes exploration of the key design decisions that help us scale to meet diverse needs, while maintaining a bias towards clarity and shipping with precision. As always, we’ll save time for a live Q&A and send the recording to all opted-in registrants.
