🤩✨Thrilled to be speaking at Figma Global Design Conference #Config2021 about design and collaboration 💪 Sharing the stage with absolute legends! Registration is now open, get your free tickets:

Kicking off day 2 of Festival of UX @mobileUXLondon with “Leading with empathy” where we shared how we approach remote collaboration in my team @ibmdesign including the concept of Nemawashi that I learned while working at a Japanese company! #MUXLfestival #muxl

Senior UX Designers, if you aren’t teaching or mentoring Juniors you’re missing out. Teaching others is not only very fulfilling but also helps you reflect on your learning and makes you a better #designer #ux #uxdesigner #careeradvice

It's no secret that we ❤️ @figmadesign - we learned loads at #config2021 and have finally got around to writing up our thoughts on the talk that made the biggest impact @minarama's 'should devs design' (spoiler alert - we agree they should!) https://t.co/eq1DDEjGq8

Anyone else see this as deeply problematic? 🤔 Maybe not every aspect of your life is a product that needs to be optimised, especially your relationships with people.

This IS everything re; the future of business more broadly - workers and customers are rightly demanding more. And significant to see one of the OGs of the European VC scene say so out loud ❣️

Should devs design? Well...YES! @minarama shared how her team moved from handoff culture to embracing collaboration, becoming more efficient, and taking empathy with users to the next level! See her full #config2021 talk here: https://t.co/XUKgBglqN7

I wrote a post for #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek about my recent experience of anxiety and depression. Solidarity to anyone else going through this - I hope this might help a little ❤️ https://t.co/kZWJ2WGe3Z

For many of us 'being in nature’ may not be as easy as it sounds. The good news is - you don’t have to climb a mountain to feel the benefit ✔️ Check out our simple tips for bringing nature into your everyday💐: #ConnectWithNature #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek

Open form to ask your questions ahead of the session:

👀 Great opportunity for a free and open conversation on Design Education with Don Norman. I started teaching formally this year and have so many questions for him!

If someone on your team is doing a great job, TELL THEM. And better yet, submit formal feedback tagging their manager. This helps immensely with promotions!

Does anyone else refer to @OReillyMedia books by the animals on their covers? Just recommended the 🦜 one on ‘Articulating Design Decisions’, to a junior designer, great if you are new to the field or looking to build trust with challenging stakeholders.

Stunning #Config2021 thanks everyone for your fantastic presentations with many examples, tips and guidelines to create #betterdesigns that are more #accessible for people made by happier teams. A special callout to @annaecook @minarama @mattdeco https://t.co/fGNO1YAM7E

Designers: I'm a unicorn product designer who puts accessibility first Also designers: TURN OFF CAPTIONS ON THIS VIDEO

Our strategist, @minarama delivered an AMAZING talk about moving away from handoff culture to embrace a more collaborative environment at #Config2021 yesterday ❤️ Check out her presentation here 👇 https://t.co/0x3Yu1CfAx

Awesome stuff from @minarama on 'should devs design?' - it's all about collaboration, ending handoff culture and making better products through empathy. We're definitely big on keeping devs and designers working together throughout the process (right @burntcustard?) #config2021

The Should Dev's Design talk by @minarama was really great! Collaboration between dev and design is my main goal at @wearempf and it's nice to know we're heading in the right direction on our journey! #config2021

Solid first day at #config2021, thanks to @zoink @auareyou @nikolasklein @minarama @helenajar @annaecook and @robynkanner for the inspiring presentations!

"Figma Config is like the Superbowl of the design world" @minarama This statement sums up my excitement pretty well...
