Welcome to Friends of Figma Auckland!

Who we are

Friends of Figma Auckland is an open-minded community for everyone in the digital product world who uses or is interested in Figma - regardless of your role or experience level. Whether you're a designer crafting pixel-perfect interfaces, a developer implementing designs, a tester ensuring quality, or a product manager coordinating it all - this community is for you!

Our core principles

While we strive for horizontal relationships within our community, there are naturally different roles and responsibilities depending on projects and activities. These community roles exist independent of any job titles we may hold in our day jobs. When we all respect this principle, we create space for healthier and more creative collaboration.

As our focus is on learning and collaboration around Figma, we kindly ask members to keep job postings and recruitment activities to more appropriate platforms.

What we offer

• Knowledge Sharing: Exchange tips, tricks, and best practices with fellow Figma enthusiasts

• Networking: Connect with local professionals across different disciplines

• Events: Regular meetups, workshops, and learning sessions tailored to various skill levels

• Support: Get help with your Figma questions and challenges from peers who understand your workflow

• Collaboration: Find opportunities to work together on projects and initiatives

Join us if you are...

• A UI/UX Designer building in Figma

• A Developer implementing Figma designs

• A QA/Tester working with design systems

• A Product Manager coordinating design workflows

• Anyone curious about how Figma can improve your work

No matter your background or experience level, FoF Auckland welcomes you. Our community thrives on diversity of thought and experience, bringing together different perspectives to create a richer learning environment for everyone.
