About this event

Join us for our first Friends of Figma Helsinki gathering in 2026, where we unite enthusiasts of design and product work for an inspiring and engaging evening!

✨ What to Expect: We’ll begin with two insightful talks from seasoned designers in the field:

  • Lisha will share her reflections on what she wishes she had known when she started her journey in design, along with valuable lessons, surprises, and practical tips from her 10+ years designer experience.

  • Jani will discuss the evolving role of designers from specialized experts to more versatile "jack-of-all-trades" generalists and how AI is playing a pivotal role in facilitating this transition within real product work.

After the talks, we’ll open up for discussion and leave plenty of time to connect and network.

👋 Who Should Join: Designers, product people, developers, students, career switchers, or anyone curious about design and product work. Whether you're experienced or just starting to explore, everyone is welcome.

Good to Know: The event takes place in central Helsinki, featuring complimentary tea, coffee, and light snacks, along with some exclusive Figma swag 😎. Enjoy a friendly, low-pressure atmosphere to foster meaningful connections.

🗓️ Don't miss this opportunity to grow your network and learn from seasoned professionals. RSVP now and be part of the beginning of a vibrant design community in Helsinki!
