💥 Introducing: Road to Config

Design isn’t just how things look—it’s how we think, how we solve problems, and how we shape the world around us. It’s about making things intuitive, impactful, and built for everyone. ⏳ Now, here’s where it gets exciting: 🔥 Figma Config 2025 🔥—aka the Super Bowl of design and product—is dropping this May 6–8, and we’re not waiting till then to get hyped ⌛️

A whole series of virtual Happy Hour hangouts this April to kick things off in style. Think fresh design insights, real talk with industry experts, and a chance to vibe with the global design community before Config starts... 👀
