Come Together
On the long road from idea to reality, finding your footing means finding your people.
Progress often hinges on an unexpected email, a tough-love mentor, or a late-night conversation that snaps everything into place. Without community, we’d all be stuck at square one. As our annual Config conference approaches, we’re amplifying the creators, builders, and thinkers shaping our journey—some of whom you’ll find on the agenda. Whether IRL or through a URL, we invite you to make a connection.
How to make magic
As a self-professed Figma fan, product manager Charmaine Lee isn’t afraid to roll up her sleeves and jump in the file. Building Lens Studio at Snap AR, she believes this all-hands-on-deck approach is what makes a creator tool feel like magic. Here are her rules for product building that are anything but by the book.
Craft and beauty
Speaking of experiences that feel like magic, how do you define craft and beauty? How do you measure quality at all—nevermind its impact? In this conversation, Katie Dill, Head of Design at Stripe; Karri Saarinen, co-founder and CEO of Linear; and Yukhi Yamashita, Chief Product Officer at Figma, describe the indescribable.
The modern quilter
When former product designer Nicole Boettcher started crafting quilts, she reached for the tool she knew best: Figma. We visited her Brooklyn studio to see how she designs and plans each piece in the file. “Designers like to joke that our job is moving rectangles, so in some ways my life has not changed very much,” jokes Nicole, who’s joining the virtual program at Config.
