🎉 The Friends of Figma Miami rebrand is officially live!
Figma just dropped their refreshed Friends of Figma brand — and we took it and made it our own. 🌴 Think Art Deco architecture, flamingos, alligators, tropical textures, and that unmistakable Miami color energy. Pure South Florida, through and through.
A massive shoutout to our Lead Volunteer Sharon Skillings for pouring her heart into bringing this Miami identity to life. This one’s for you! 🫶
One global community, hundreds of local stories — and ours just got a whole lot more colorful. Go check out how brought the full Friends of Figma refresh to life on Shortcut ✨

Still riding the energy from last week 💛

We had 50+ designers join us for Design it. Build it. Ship it. and Miami absolutely showed up.

Huge thank you to Dianne Alter for leading such an inspiring Vibe Design workshop and showing how ideas can move from concept → Figma → working code in real time. This is what the future of design looks like.

Grateful to the University of Miami School of Communication, especially Lorena and Kim, for hosting us, and to our amazing volunteers who helped make the night seamless.

The recording is now live on YouTube — check the link in bio.

More Friends of Figma Miami events coming soon. Stay tuned 👀✨
