We are thrilled to announce a new website release that speaks more directly to the value that Naya provides. As many of you may know, the design journey today is really broken. From the initial design brief sitting in an old email to images and brainstorms located somewhere on a messy Miro board to 3D models living in folders within folders on google drive. It is no wonder no one can ever find anything! Couple this with the need to get feedback from designers, engineers, marketers, end users, clients, and decision makers throughout the journey and it is a miracle anyone ever gets from start to finish. These roadblocks make the journey of design an even greater challenge than it already is. And these challenges are a key reason why so many amazing ideas never get realized. Thus, we are creating a place for the entire design journey to live from your Miro and Figma boards to your PDFs and Google Slides to your 3D models and Videos (over 100 file types and growing). That’s right, all of this organized, in one place. Moreover, you can get feedback from any of your stakeholders on any of these assets including directly on 3D models. So now you can easily align stakeholders, find files, see progress, and have more time to focus on the design. Plus with your journey in one place, our AI can help you come up with new designs and new journeys to deliver even better products. Come check out the new website or sign up for a demo! We’d love to show you the latest. https://naya.studio

Exciting updates from Figma are here to streamline your design process! Introducing Dev Mode, a dedicated space for developers that enhances collaboration with designers. Dev Mode integrates with popular tools like Jira and GitHub and includes a handy VS Code extension. Figma has also improved Dynamic Prototyping with high-fidelity prototypes and conditional logic, making your designs more interactive and efficient. The Auto Layout feature now offers better responsiveness, adjusting components smoothly across various screens. The new Better Font Picker simplifies typography, allowing you to preview and select fonts directly within Figma.

Oxygen, doctolib’s design system, has existed for more than three years now and is becoming more and more robust. Three years of adding new components, new processes, breaking changes due to Figma’s new features (such as auto-layout), component updates or recraft, drifts (discrepancies between design component and dev component)… All this leads to a Figma library (formerly called 💠Core components) that was closer to a Frankenstein than a lean and refined library as we would have liked. In parallel, we were regularly receiving negative feedback from the Product Designers, notably mentioning that Figma files were really heavy, and consequently slooooooooow and annoying to work on. Massively important if you consider that a Product Designer works at least half the day on Figma.

What’s Next for Designers in an AI-Driven World? I’ve been designing since the 90s, and I’ve seen a lot of changes. What Michal Malewicz discusses in his article really hits home — it’s a must-read for anyone interested in the future of design. Here’s the thing. Mastering Figma or any other tool doesn’t make you a great designer. What does? Creative thinking. Pushing boundaries. Solving problems. Repeating the same thing isn’t innovation—it’s stagnation. Tools are just that — tools. They are not the source of innovation; your mind is. The article highlights some real challenges in our field, especially for those just starting out. If you’re new, focus on developing your creative thinking skills. Be curious. Ask questions. Connect the dots between different concepts. That’s how you’ll create truly great designs. Remember, the tools won’t do the thinking for you. Take a few minutes to read the article, and then let’s talk about how we can keep pushing design forward. https://lnkd.in/dSpTtkJ4 What’s your take on the future of design in this "AI-driven" world? #AIinDesign #UXDesign #CreativeProcess

A lot of designers don't know this. Did you know before now that you could add comments to a design in Figma even in the prototype view? This really helps to make collaboration faster and prototype testing better. What other advance Figma feature do you know and use that may not be popular?? #design #dailydesigndose #figma #prototyping

New Figma Updates 2024 💥 💥 1. AI-Powered Design Assistance: Figma has integrated AI to automate repetitive tasks, provide intelligent design suggestions, and offer real-time insights.
