As we wrap up the year,

Design x Dev Sync’d: The Maker’s Edition, a cross-disciplinary gathering at the intersection of design and development, brings together makers who shape digital products from both sides of the spectrum.

As AI transforms design processes and development handoff, we’ll explore how designers and developers can stay aligned, reduce friction, and ship faster. You’ll hear from practitioners who have been experimenting at the edge of design and code, walking through real use cases, pitfalls, and opportunities.

Whether you’re a designer looking to understand how your decisions flow into code, or a developer wanting to grasp the “why” behind design choices, this is your chance to see how the two sides can finally work in sync.

Key Takeaways:

• What Figma AI can (and can’t) do for your workflow.

• How Figma for Developers changes collaboration and handoff.

• Practical strategies to keep design and dev aligned from ideation to launch.

• Insights on reducing back-and-forth, speeding iteration, and staying true to the design vision in production.

• A maker-first perspective: how to balance creativity and technical precision.

Who should attend:

• Designers curious about development handoff and workflow efficiency.

• Developers who want clarity and context behind design decisions.

• Product managers and makers bridging design and code.

• Anyone experimenting with AI-powered product creation.

This isn’t just another talk—we’ll reflect on the biggest shifts of the year, share real stories from teams who bridged design and development in new ways, and spotlight the practical takeaways you can bring back to your workflow. Come with questions, stay for the insights, and leave ready to make.
