Hi! Iām Kris. Iām the lead designer on the software used to power this community Discourseā¦ Iām 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 designā¦ Iām also a front-end developer and when Iām 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 networkās WebSocket configuration. If you havenāt already, Iād reach out to your IT team to see if thereās anything blocking port 403 and see if they can safe-list Figma.

Hello everyone, my name is Giancarlo from Italy, I am a UI consultant and part-time prototyping teacher.
I have a background in DTP and Visual Design, but basically I am old enough to have witnessed the birth of the WWW, long before Atomic Design was even a (good) thing ;-}>.
You can get in touch with me here.
I am looking forward for the public release of interactive components, meanwhile Iāll be attending the livestream on Thursday. See you there, bye!
Hi all, I am Zhifeng and I am learning Figma and UI design and frontend development. The first day I learned about Figma, I felt amazed, however until recently I started the actually learning and practicing. I am doing a 100 day challenge with UI designing and Iāll be using Figma all along the journey.
I am also recording my learning experience on twitte, so if you are interested, please follow me on twitter @Zhifeng4cs.
I will post daily updates on what I was doing, and I need your feedback in case I missed anything (I am learning it by myself). Looking forward for your reply.
Ola,
Working from home sculpting my Design System. Having worked with Sketch and all sorts I moved to Figma 3 years ago and boy What a Cool Tool. Massive fan especially now with interactive variants. Boy my brain went BOOOOM!
This puts my Design System on steroids. Full time. Period. Awesome!
You can reach me via my email if you have a question or need a second pair of eyes.
When Corona is not active I consider myself quite active - gym and stuff to keep my brain fit.
