We’re excited to reveal our second session for the FoF World Tour 2025 — brought to you by Friends of Figma Sydney!

This time, we’re diving deep into the world of design systems with two phenomenal speakers from Atlassian:

🎤 Tarra van Amerongen, Head of Design, Navigation and Platform Experiences @ Atlassian

🎤 Richard Sneesby, Lead Product Designer, Global Navigation @ Atlassian

"Taking your design pattern from zero to hero"

What if you took on the design challenge everyone said couldn’t be done?

At Atlassian, Tarra and Rich led the redesign of the global navigation pattern to support the re-architecture of 13+ digital products. They developed and rolled out this evolving system while onboarding thousands of users each month, guiding 500+ designers on how to apply it locally.

It’s like building the plane while flying it.

They’ll share their lessons on balancing autonomy and cohesion, making the most of your design system, and designing for continuous evolution as you test, learn, and scale.
