@leoofz Congrats on the launch, Leo! Can't wait to dig into the updates.

Today at Wealthsimple Presents we announced something I’ve been working on for the past few months: ✨ Spend Insights ✨ I had the pleasure of bringing this to life with an absolute dream team… so excited to finally see it shipped 🚀 Check the 🧵 for more👇

Such a wide range of use cases to get an assist with, using the new agent in Figma! Let us know what you think!

Quick update: not dead. $FIG Q1 results: → 46% YoY revenue growth, accelerating for the 2nd straight quarter → Net Dollar Retention Rate increased to 139%, our highest rate in over two years → Raising 2026 revenue guidance for the year Design matters more than ever.

Building fast is table stakes now. The harder problem is whether what ships still matches what you meant (and whether you catch your blind spots before they ship with it). New article on what it can look like when the canvas and codebase stay in conversation. figma.com/blog/workflow-…

One of my favorite new updates to @figma Draw dropped today! Hold ⌘ key (Ctrl on Windows) when you have a brush selected to make it your current brush. Pick up from where you left off with your illustration, or build your palette on the canvas!

@round would not be the first time!

everybody forgot about ux design

@GergelyOrosz @jitl Push notifications were a mistake. I simply have do not disturb mode always on

YES

@dontgetbored @alessio_joseph IMO, the Mazda's that are not touchscreen centric are nice and simple (ex: cx50). Though the newest redesigns seem to be succumbing to the touchscreen pressures.

@alessio_joseph who is doing good interior

whomever is designing the new BMW interiors needs to be hauled to the hague to answer for their crimes

@brettmcm Yes!

"Working visually keeps me close to the problem and is slow enough gives me time to think while I work ... It is part of how clarity emerges. There is something cathartic about that process, in the same way writing can be. Writing helps clarify thought because the act itself forces you to organize it ... The value is not only in the output. It is in the gradual understanding that comes through doing the work." If this is not it, then you are not designing. You're sprinting to output. Which is fine. But don't call it design.

non-designers who have never designed anything: "designers are cooked!" people who have worked in code, want to work in code, always will work in code: "future of design is code!" companies selling tokens: "move that button 4px with a prompt!" designers:

Same thoughts. With stuff like this you need to need to see it to get these sorts of transitions and micro interactions right. To get a certain effect, it sometimes means a completely overhaul of the structure of divs/frames, what needs to be absolutely positioned versus not, etc. It’s so much faster to do this on the canvas than blow through tokens trying to articulate every aspect of this into words…and then get it wrong.

I love building with AI but it still takes slow careful work to achieve really nice results. Which is why I still like prototyping with Figma smart animate sometimes.

@rogie Yea someone is playing a game behind me. It might activate the caveman dna. I just want to sleep.

@negativespaceca Yeah, one of the more inspirational things I’ve seen on newer planes is they allow for casting your phone’s video to it. But, agree that they need some fresher thinking - especially when ppl are tapping the screen, you’re literally feeling them behind your head

Touchscreens on the back of headrests was a mistake.

@wesbos @dhh 10/10 reply

@dhh Yeah

Nice day for a drive eh.

For those who are very deep in their usage of handing over all kinds of tasks to AI agents, what specific moment gave you the necessary trust that it was able to reach your threshold for quality?

@keyavadgama @Adobe Congrats!

Officially joined the brand team as Senior Experience Designer at @Adobe this week 🌞

@laurenloprete Congrats!!!

Went from layoff email to offer email in 3 weeks, to the hour. ✨ Don’t believe people when they say design hiring is slowing down, there’s lots of work still ahead. ✌️

@chickenuggetoes @Logitech 🙏

@negativespaceca @Logitech ah shit, didn’t mean to rub it in ☠️ praying for your lil guy

I would love if @Logitech mice lasted more than a year before the buttons start malfunctioning with missed clicks. Always the same issue.
