Figma’s State of the Designer Report 2023 | Figma Blog

Designers appear more satisfied and optimistic despite the disruption of the past three years. Figma’s survey of 470 designers in Europe and Asia–Pacific examines how remote and hybrid work have affected collaboration, productivity, career prospects, and fulfillment. Its central conclusion is that designers are adapting successfully, while the growing strategic importance of design is improving both morale and opportunity. ## Remote Work and Job Satisfaction - 69% of designers report greater job satisfaction than before the pandemic. - Individual contributors are especially positive: 82% say their satisfaction has improved. - Designers generally feel more in control of where and how they work. - Many believe their workflows and ability to create high-quality digital products have improved, even as remote work has become more common. - Group meetings and collaborative design practices are helping teams work together remotely. ## Design’s Growing Influence - Nearly five times as many designers feel more positive about the design profession as feel more negative. - Design is increasingly viewed as a business-wide way of thinking rather than a function limited to one department. - Visible support from CEOs and other executives reinforces designers’ sense that their work is strategically important. - Leaders who participate in design files, give direct feedback, and experience product development firsthand create stronger connections with design teams. ## Improved Career Prospects - 69% of respondents say their employment options have improved or greatly improved. - Designers are encouraged by organizations placing design at the center of product and business decisions. - The profession’s growing influence is changing how designers view their roles and future opportunities.

How Repsol rethinks the way the world interacts with energy | Figma Blog

Repsol is using design to make energy more understandable and encourage consumers to participate in the transition toward sustainable energy. After creating its first internal design team, the company partnered with Mendesaltaren to build the Oxygen design system in Figma. The system unified design across products, improved collaboration, and reduced product implementation work by 30%. ## Making Energy More Tangible - Repsol’s design team aims to “humanize” energy and help people become active participants in how it is produced and consumed. - An electric car-sharing app shows users how much energy they consume while driving and rates their efficiency. - Another app feature lets users see where their electricity comes from, including nearby solar panels and wind turbines, alongside current weather conditions. - These experiences turn energy from an abstract bill into something visual and interactive. ## Building One Design Language - Repsol serves diverse audiences, including drivers, industrial customers, employees, and teams managing refineries and supply chains. - Before the design system, different products taught users different interaction patterns and languages. - The Oxygen design system provides shared patterns, components, interaction guidelines, and developer guidance. - Built in Figma, it creates consistency across products while allowing teams to adapt designs to different purposes and audiences. ## Figma as the Collaboration Hub - Figma became the central workspace for design, communication, feedback, and executive presentations. - Repsol can work simultaneously on more than 15 projects across internal and external teams while maintaining consistency. - Designers replaced tools such as Sketch, InVision, and PowerPoint. - Product owners, technology leads, and executives can review and iterate on designs in parallel. ## Measuring Design’s Impact - Mendesaltaren developed two plugins to help Repsol measure design performance: - **Figmetrics** tracks how components are used across Figma files. - **MSVM** keeps design, product, business, and technology teams aligned around a shared source of truth. - The new system and processes reduced implementation work by 30%. - Repsol can now track savings in time, money, and effort, making design’s business value more visible. Repsol’s experience shows how a centralized design system can improve efficiency while making complex subjects more accessible. By connecting consistent design practices with measurable results, the company is using design as a tool for both digital transformation and its transition toward net-zero energy.

Figma announces design system meetups in 6 cities around the world | Figma Blog

Figma announced a series of design system meetups in six cities worldwide to help designers share challenges, lessons, and best practices. The initiative began in Lagos, Nigeria, where more than 300 people attended, and was shaped by strong community interest in design systems. Figma concluded that larger meetups were more inclusive and useful than the dinner-sized events originally planned. ## Meetup Locations and Schedule - Lagos, Nigeria — January 27 - Toronto, Canada — February 23 - Bangalore, India — details forthcoming - Amsterdam, Netherlands — details forthcoming - New York, United States — details forthcoming - Los Angeles, United States — details forthcoming Each event would be adapted to its local design community and include presentations from local designers. Figma representatives would attend where possible. ## Community-Driven Organization - The meetups grew out of thousands of responses to a questionnaire launched with DesignSystems.com. - Designers volunteered to host or partner on events. - Figma abandoned its original dinner format after receiving more interest than small venues could accommodate. - The broader meetup format allowed more designers to participate and share “war stories” about building design systems. ## The Lagos Meetup - Lagos was selected because of its growing design and technology scene and its large concentration of Figma users in Africa. - Figma’s cloud-based platform and free tier were especially valuable in Lagos, allowing designers to work from offices, home, or internet cafés. - Hotels.ng designer Namnso Ukpanah organized the event. - Speakers included designers from hotels.ng, Andela, and Paystack, along with Figma CEO Dylan Field. - More than 300 people attended. ## Expanding DesignSystems.com Figma planned to use information from the questionnaire and meetups to create a more comprehensive version of DesignSystems.com. Designers interested in bringing an event to their city were encouraged to express interest, volunteer as hosts, or contact Figma for details. The initiative demonstrates that design systems benefit from open, local communities where practitioners can exchange practical experience. Designers seeking similar events could support the effort by organizing locally or participating through DesignSystems.com.
