The product designer role is more complex than before, but if you're passionate about solving real problems through design, you can absolutely do this. What's your biggest challenge learning UI design or UX design right now?

Product design and UX is changing so much due to AI. To try to stay on top of things, I’ve started testing new workflows every week in my new show UX Outpost. Join my new design newsletter today to stay in the loop!

This is a huge new workflow that I think product designers will be using daily in the near future and it's where I bet Figma Make is headed: generate new flows in seconds, refine those pixel by pixel before doing it all over again. Have you tried this workflow?.

See, you can publish that project, then go to the url and use the plugin to capture the screen and import it back into Figma design--it even has Auto Layout so it's easy to work with. So in minutes, you have an interactive flow that you can edit and.

Now here's where the magic happens 🪄.Ask Make for a new flow and direct it to generate a button in the current ui design that will send to that flow. Be as specific as you can be wit user persona and how it fits into the product. It will generate some code that has the new flows.

Take a hand-crafted ui design, have Figma Make recreate it in codePrompt it for a new ux design pattern or user flowImport that into Figma Design to make it pixel perfect. Let's break it down:.Take a ui design you already have in Figma. Head to Figma Make and paste in the frame.

Texture in figma is so fun to design with. You can even make Apple’s Liquid Glass with it!. Couple things to consider:.Adding texture will warp the whole frame/grouphigher numbers in texture make it less “in your face”. So when you’re creating a ui design with a liquid glass

If you’re a ui/ux designer using Figma, code layers needs to be on your radar. Why? It’s a window into what our design workflows will look like in the age of AI. - Figma Sites is an infinite canvas. - Figma Make allows you to generate designs and add interactions to those

Just got back from an invite-only UX conference in NYC hosted by @usertesting 👀. If you’re a designer wondering how AI is changing the game… it already is. Here are 3 takeaways I can’t stop thinking about 🧵. 1. AI is redrawing the lines. Designers are writing code. Devs are

I started a new ui/ux design show with my buddy, @AndyRyanWeir, called UX Outpost. In episode 1, we gave an Al assistant the mic and it sent us straight into a ui/ux design challenge head to head with ai. Fallout vibes. Figma chaos. See who designed it better: 2 senior

2 weeks ago I gave my first ever conference talk. It was about an app I never planned to make… but it completely changed my career. Since I make content, I packed the slides with videos and animations (maybe too many lol). But it was a blast. Big thanks to figma for the.

I graded my own app against Apple’s 5 Design Award pillars…. Final score?.6.5 / 15. Brutal. But now we know exactly what to improve. Follow along as I redesign it from the ground up.

We designed our TaskTree widgets to quietly nudge you back into flow—without the guilt spiral. Each widget shifts based on your day:.•unplanned? → “let’s plan!”.•got 2 lines left? → “you’re close!”.•finished? → “big proud!”

Be honest… do you actually name your layers in Figma? Or are you living that Frame 3928 life?

I am a big fan of Figma’s new draw mode. This doesn’t even cover text on path, pattern fills, and the dynamic stroke widths coming soon. Have you tried it yet??
