Pushing the Boundaries of What’s Possible
Senior Designer Jen Jones is keeping her finger on the pulse in an endless quest to stay on top of the industry’s latest ideas and innovations. Config 2024, Figma’s annual conference, is the ideal opportunity to fully immerse in cutting-edge announcements and groundbreaking insights that Jen can’t wait to apply to our work here at LIFT.
Check out all of the new features.
Here are her top 3 takeaways from Config 2024:
AI was the star of the show.
No surprises here! Figma continues to push the boundaries of AI with all-new tools that offer designers unprecedented efficiency and creativity. Say goodbye to the “blank screen problem,” create decks with the help of AI, and do more than ever with text-based prompts.
Learn about leveraging shiny new AI superpowers.
Industry leaders continue to innovate.
A highlight of Jen’s experience was delving into how giants like Google and Apple leverage AI to create transformative design solutions. By partnering with Figma to add Google and Apple UI kits, anyone can now use their elements and components in their designs. This is huge!
Sometimes, you just need a good slap in the face (figuratively).
One of Jen’s favorite sessions was a talk by inventor Simone Giertz. She shared her path, her latest creative endeavors, and how she overcame performance anxiety by being slapped in the face by a robot (literally).
Jen left Config 2024 feeling more equipped than ever to share what she has learned with our internal team so that we can continue to provide our clients with top-notch, cutting-edge design services and solutions. At LIFT, we’ll continue to dedicate ourselves to limitless curiosity and a commitment to continuous learning. Config 2025 here we come. Stay tuned!
