@zendadddy Spending hours in roadmapping meetings talking about the design instead of doing the design.

4. Objects don’t seem to snap in place as readily as in Figma.
Overall I'll be continuing to use Figma Slides for the sake of not switching tools while designing and presenting. I'm sure some of these improvements will come over time!

Some early thoughts on Figma Slides after creating a 12 page deck 🧵

3. “Hide Slide” feature pls.

2. The power of embedding interactive prototypes within Slides is alluring, but it's tricky. I ran into permissions and missing font issues, and ended up using GIF recordings instead.

[Ching Hsieh @ching_hsieh]

1. Toggle between Design Mode vs Slides Mode is not intuitive. I'd like access to Design Mode tools at all times without hiding Slide Mode features and vice versa, e.g. masking and live interactions.

You might think that building an #adu and a #designsystem are very different things. I discover otherwise: From Foundations to Frameworks https://t.co/0jOlBWIofk

Feeling seen: "The very boring part of influence is how much you will need to repeat a message—over and over and over again, until you are sure you have become a walking cliche—before it truly sinks in." -@joulee in this week's "The Looking Glass" newsletter

So many iconic brands and campaigns coming out of @wearecollins. What a treat to hear about their inspirations, process, and behind-the-scenes thinking at #Config2024 from @emily_sneddon and Taamrat Amaize.

@bonniekatewolf Do it!

[Ching Hsieh @ching_hsieh]

@_lalaaree_ @figma Love this. I had several colleagues at the conference but we all did our own thing for ease of wandering and agency to make our own agendas. We debriefed at the end of the day. It was the best!

I had a blast sharing some of my thoughts around the future of AI and the design industry at #config2023 this morning, and tease some early work we've been exploring @figma in this space.

Here's a summary of what I shared on stage 🧵

[Ching Hsieh @ching_hsieh]

#Config2023 is Woodstock for designers. Vibes, 'fits, love, and creativity. We're all going to look back on these past 2 days and say "I was there." ✨🩵

[Ching Hsieh @ching_hsieh]

I love that #confits2023 is a thing. I'm heading into Day 2 - just trying to keep up with Gen Z.

The two types of designers going to #config23:

I don't make the rules, that is just how it is.

[Ching Hsieh @ching_hsieh]

Closing keynote speaker Brian Chesky on fire 🔥 - so inspiring. "Businesses need more heart. Design the world you want to live in." #Config2023

[Ching Hsieh @ching_hsieh]

The Figma community is amazing. So much creative energy and excitement here at Moscone. #Config2023

I couldn't find any articles about what it's like to transition from design leadership back to an IC role, so I wrote one, based on my recent experience. #designleadership #changemanagement #careertransitions https://t.co/BQMsC4vrT2

This: “The hardest adjustment was learning to appreciate the unique impact managers can have. It’s like designing with boxing gloves on; you can nudge things in a general direction, but the fine details are out of your direct control.” — with Derek Jones https://t.co/jLOHoLL1dS
