    Hi, this is Shahadat, I am the maker of Gradienta, an indie maker, micro stock seller. I love Figma for its simplicity. Working from Bangladesh is a blessing for me as because the cost of living is too low here.

    Looking to communicate with you guys always. There are lots more to learn from and lots more to share.

    Hi everyone 🙋‍♀️t3:

    I’m Gizem from Turkey 🇹🇷. I used to be (and somehow still) a Project Manager. One day, I decided to change my career path before 35 and started to learn UX/UI. Thanks to Figma, I’ve become a UX Designer.

    Looking forward to learning deeper the Figma and get some inspiration! 🙃

    Hi I’m Ariel - new to Figma, but quiet old to designing UXs 🙂 Started making games in the 90s & have led product at a lot of big & small companies & had a couple of startups.

    I’m leading UX at a new company & am determined to have us use Figma! I’m now urgently looking for an expert level Figma designer to help us bring our wireframes to the next level with best practices within Figma that I’m not totally understanding yet 🙂 If anyone is a guru at design system set-up, we are funded and need a lot of help over the next couple of weeks (and ongoing) Please email me: ariel@findtech.ai

    Thank you!

    Hi! I’m Kris. I’m the lead designer on the software used to power this community Discourse… I’m also a Figma user, so I was excited to see this community take off (and love what the team at Figma did with the theme/styling).

    I live in Boston, MA. After graduating design school I started in advertising and gradually moved my career towards interaction/UX design… I’m also a front-end developer and when I’m not mocking something up in Figma I build it natively in HTML/CSS.

    Hi Genevieve!

    Sounds like you might be having an issue with your network’s WebSocket configuration. If you haven’t already, I’d reach out to your IT team to see if there’s anything blocking port 403 and see if they can safe-list Figma.
