Hey Vienna ❤️ To kick off our chapter, we’re starting with chilled afterwork drinks. The first round is on us! Here's what you can look forward to: Connect and network: Meet and chat with fellow designers IRL. Shape the chapter: We’ll run a post-it ideation session to explore what types of events, workshops, and resources you’d like from this community. Looking ahead: Learn how to get involved in future events – as a speaker, attendee, volunteer, or sponsor. Spots are limited, so make sure to RSVP. If your plans change, please update your reservation so we can make room for people on the waitlist. Photo and video consent: We may take photos and videos during the event for use in recap blog posts, social media, and other promotional materials. By attending the meetup, you consent to being photographed.

For our next Friends of Figma Zurich meetup, we're heading to Constructor Nexademy — a place built on the belief that learning doesn't stop when school does. An evening of lightning talks, live demos and honest conversations, hosted by a team that's been helping people reinvent their careers and grow new skills outside the traditional classroom. 📅 Date & time: 19 May 2026, 18:00 📍 Location: Constructor Nexademy, Förrlibuckstrasse 150, 1st floor, Zürich Agenda for the evening: 18:00 Welcome 18:30 Talks + Q&A 19:15 Apéro and chats 🍷 What's on the lightning talks & demos agenda? 🏫 Meet Constructor Nexademy. An introduction to Constructor Nexademy — who they are, what they build, and how they're training the next generation of developers and AI practitioners in Zürich. 🎤 How AI can help designers translate their work into influence with Flore de Crombrugghe. Design without influence is just decoration. This talk is a retrospective on PitchPivot — an AI tool built to help designers translate their work into business language. More than a project recap, it's an argument: designers already have what it takes to earn a seat at the table. They just need to learn to speak the room. Short talks, demos and plenty of time to connect during the apéro. Curious how designers are turning their craft into real business influence? Come join us ✨

Motion is no longer just decoration. The future of digital products is systemised animation. As products become more interactive, motion needs to scale beyond one-off transitions and handcrafted moments. The teams moving fastest today are treating animation as infrastructure - reusable, adaptable, and deeply connected to product behaviour. Join us for Motion as a Design Language - a live session exploring how modern teams are building scalable motion systems that create consistency, improve usability, and speed up collaboration across design and development.

AI Is Becoming a Commodity. Judgement Is Not. Hi London fam 👋 Friends of Figma London is teaming up with UserTesting for an evening built around the conversations you can't have on Slack.

Esta vez Dow Jones nos invita a sus oficinas para una tarde de doble charla y networking 🍻 Las dos charlas estarán efocadas a los procesos, una sobre research y la otra sobre diseño. La primera será en español y la segunda en inglés. Ambas tendrán un tiempo dedicado para preguntas, que en el caso de la charla en inglés se podrán hacer en español. Charla #1) El proceso de Research: Pensamiento crítico, IA y datos 🗣️  Gilmara Lanzetta  (Español) Vivimos rodeados de datos e insights inmediatos, pero investigar no es encontrar verdades absolutas, sino aprender a formular las preguntas adecuadas. En esta sesión, Gilmara nos invitará a entender la investigación como un proceso humano donde la curiosidad y el rigor metodológico son clave. Analizaremos por qué los resultados son "verdades situadas" y cómo el pensamiento crítico es nuestra mejor defensa frente a la automatización. Charla #2) Designing with agents: From tooling to teammates 🗣️ Ed Pinto (Inglés - Q&A disponible en español también) ¿Cómo está transformando la IA generativa el día a día en el diseño? Ed, diseñador del equipo de Dow Jones, nos contará cómo están integrando agentes de IA en sus flujos actuales: desde la organización y limpieza de archivos en Figma, hasta el mantenimiento de componentes en su Design System. Una mirada práctica a cómo delegar tareas operativas en la IA para ganar tiempo y foco en lo que realmente importa: crear soluciones de diseño. 🙋El evento será 100% presencial y lo grabaremos para poder subirlo a posteriori en nuestro canal de YouTube. A las 18h abriremos puertas, el evento empezará a las 18:30h y cerraremos puertas a las 19h. ¡Ven a vivir esta experiencia única en las oficinas de Dow Jones y a conectar con la comunidad y aprender algo nuevo! === Fotos y vídeos durante el evento:

Friends of Figma Miami heads to the University of Miami for a hands-on workshop with AWS Senior Developer Advocate Stephen Siegert. Learn Kiro, an AI-powered IDE that lets you go from spec to working feature using the structured thinking you already do. Kiro is an AI-powered IDE from AWS that uses spec-driven development to guide you from requirements through design and task planning before generating code. Instead of relying on one-off prompts, Kiro structures work as a series of requirements, design decisions, and implementation tasks—creating a shared artifact that designers and engineers can both understand. In this session, we’ll explore how that workflow maps to the way design already operates: user stories, flows, constraints, and UX goals. You’ll see how Kiro’s specs and planning tools can become a bridge between “here’s the Figma file” and “here’s the implementation plan,” making it easier to collaborate, review tradeoffs, and keep the product experience coherent as it ships. We’ll cover: Vibe coding for exploration How to use Kiro for quick spikes, interaction experiments, or UI variations—helping designers and engineers explore options quickly without committing to a full build. Spec-driven development for real features How Kiro’s spec model (requirements → design → tasks) mirrors product and UX thinking. You’ll learn how to write or co-author specs that express UX scenarios, edge cases, and acceptance criteria in a way Kiro and your engineering partners can execute against, especially for multi-screen, multi-file features. Steering Kiro with your product language and patterns How to “teach” Kiro about your product, IA, and UI standards so it generates code and plans that reflect your design system instead of generic UI. We’ll discuss what to capture in specs, how to reuse examples, and how to review Kiro’s plans with a UX lens before moving to implementation. Agent hooks for product workflows How Kiro’s agents can automate repeatable steps in your workflow—like updating documentation, wiring boilerplate, or checking criteria—so design and engineering conversations stay focused on experience quality. Extending Kiro with MCP integrations How MCP-based integrations let Kiro connect to other tools and data, opening up possibilities for more context-aware workflows across your stack. You’ll see an end-to-end example of a feature going from idea to spec to implementation, with emphasis on where designers shape the requirements, design constraints, and feedback cycles. The goal is to demystify AI-driven development for non-engineers and show how it can actually strengthen UX quality when used with the right structure. Who should attend UX designers and product designers (students and professionals) Product managers and design technologists Engineers interested in tighter collaboration with design and AI-native workflows No deep engineering background is required; curiosity about how design decisions meet implementation is enough. Basic familiarity with developer tools or reading UI code will help but isn’t mandatory. You’ll leave with: A practical understanding of vibe coding vs. spec-driven development, and when each helps design teams. Concrete examples of specs that encode UX scenarios and acceptance criteria in a way Kiro can act on. Patterns for steering Kiro toward your product’s language and design system. Ideas for using agent hooks and integrations to reduce friction in your design–engineering loop. Attendee prep Please arrive with the following already set up on your laptop. Doing this in advance means you can spend the workshop building, not installing. 1. Install Kiro Go to https://kiro.dev and click the Download button on the homepage. The site will automatically detect your operating system (Windows, macOS, or Linux) and serve the right installer. Follow the installation instructions for your OS. 2. Sign in Kiro offers a few authentication options — pick whichever is easiest: GitHub or Google — social login, fastest for individuals. AWS Builder ID — a free personal profile. No AWS account required, no credit card, no cost. 3. Watch the Kiro overview (optional but recommended) If Kiro is new to you, this short overview is a great primer and will help the workshop click faster: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JOqLp1adGO4 4. Workshop dependencies If you plan to follow along with the workshop materials, please also install: Node.js 22+ and npm — needed to run the frontend development server. If you've never installed Node before, the installer at nodejs.org will walk you through it. You don't need to be a developer to get a lot out of this. You just need to be willing to think out loud, write clearly, and try things. That's the designer's superpower — and it turns out it's exactly what AI coding agents need. See you at UM. Building and parking: University of Miami's map The event will be hosted in the Koenigsberg & Nadal Interactive Media Center at University of Miami’s School of Communication Wolfson Building located at 5100 Brunson Drive, Coral Gables, FL 33146.

We're happy to bring everyone together again to continue exploring AI-related topics — this time to explore something that's already reshaping how many teams work: the transition from traditional design systems to AI-native ones. Design systems were built to bring consistency and scale to a world of screens and components. But AI is rewriting the rules. Interfaces are growing more dynamic and less predictable, shaped not just by design decisions but by data, context, and how systems learn and adapt in real time. 📅 Date: 26 May 2026 🕙 Time: Doors open 18:00, talks start at 18:30 📍 Venue: Eurofunk, Vogelweiderstraße 29 Talks: Bridging Legacy Design Systems to AI-Native Systems Alejandro Bauer - Senior Product Designer, Tractive Emergency Response UX: From Field Research to Figma Valeria Chavez Klier - UX Expert, Eurofunk ✨ Expect thoughtful perspectives, practical insights, and inspiring conversations about the evolving relationship between design, AI, and technology. Whether you're a designer, developer, or simply curious about where design is heading, you’ll leave with new ideas and connections. Quick tips • Make sure to RSVP in advance • Drinks and snacks will be available • Seating is first-come, first-served — come early for the best spots • Have your ticket or confirmation email ready at check-in • If you can’t make it, please cancel at least 48 hours in advance so someone else can join Spots are limited — don’t forget to register. See you there!

As AI rapidly lowers the cost of building, there is a shift in focus from how to build to what's worth building and this is where designers have an opportunity to step up. The designers who thrive in this new landscape won't just be those with the strongest craft; they'll be the ones who can combine their deep understanding of user needs with sharp commercial thinking. This talk explores how UX and Product Designers can develop the commercial acumen to connect their work to business outcomes, earn trust with leadership, and expand their influence from execution to strategy. When design and commercial thinking work together, the ability to identify the right problems to solve — grounded in both user insight and business reality — becomes a genuine advantage.
