Conference Talk

Open Design

Jul 31, 2019

As designers, we’re pretty familiar with the idea of “designing openly” and of sharing often with our teammates. Designing openly, however, is only a stepping stone for truly open design. At Figma, open design means opening up the definition of who can become a designer, opening up our processes to include our teammates, and finally, opening up the ability to work with the greater community as a whole. This talk explores how Figma has been embracing open design, and how it could define the future of the design industry. Jenny Wen is a product designer at Figma, focusing on improving the collaborative experience of designers and their counterparts throughout the design process. Prior to that, Jenny worked on Dropbox Paper, helping people to get on the same page in their project work. Theme: Are we on the same page?
