Hey designers! I just published my first Figma plugin. 📈 It's a simple, efficient tool for designers to quickly generate chart lines within selected frames—perfect for data visualization-dense UI mockups or just quick dashboard sketches during a whiteboard session!

➡️ Search for "Random Chart Line Generator" in Figma to try it out!

I hope you find this little plugin helpful, and I appreciate any feedback as I continue to iterate on it! Cheers!

Is anyone else hoping for an insane blizzard to hit mid-next week so they have an excuse not to drive downstate to spend Thanksgiving with their extended family? Some of my family's FB posts since last week's elections tell me it's going to be a long holiday weekend.

Currently looking at the loop, Logan square, Lincoln park and Lakeview (would prefer closer to the Red line and groceries)! It’s my first time moving alone and a little nervous lol, would love some help! Budget is around 800$ (2B/2B) for sharing and 1000$ for a studio! Any leads/suggestions/options would be great! TIA!!!

This slow and steady stop is a little scary.

Long time advocate getting a little nervous. Believe in technology, but have no idea what my true investment worth will be by year end.

I’m building my first iOS app. I only have experience in material design. I’m looking for easy to comprehend specs around standard design elements: headers, chips, buttons, etc. The iOS UI support material is nearly impossible to understand. Any advice for the best place to find that info? I’ve tried survival kits that aren’t very consistent. I’d also be willing to buy a quality iOS kit. Thanks in advance for the help!

Looking to connect with fellow design managers, new and experienced. Would love to have a space to share and connect.

I think I've failed twice in answering these correctly in my interviews
This is for a Visual designer's position
1. What was the breakpoint for design
2. Did you design the components and design system?
3. How was your handoff to developers (I've never one that)
4. Wht was the most challenging part of this project.
5. What is something you would re-design if you were to go back.

I’m transitioning from Art Director to UX/UI Designer. As an AD, I’ve worked on UX/UI but it wasn’t the only thing I did. I don’t know how to title myself on my resume with all my experience being an AD and/or Designer though.

Does anyone have some advice on how to approach applying to jobs during this transition?

Hey All,

I have been thinking about going into UX/UI Design and I wanted to know is it women of color work in this field (if so I would love to connect and learn how to navigate) or is it a male dominated field? Is it worth it to me to transition into this role? How competitive is the industry?

Are there any designers training in accessible UI design lately?
I'm looking to learn and ask some suggestions for an interview tomorrow.
Pretty nervous on technical questions.

Few tips to improve your visual design skills

- Learn Typography: Typography is essential because 60-70% of user interfaces are about written content displayed in a meaningful way.

- Learn Layout and Composition: You don’t need to be pixel perfect, but if you place labels 10px above inputs, you must do that consistently across your whole design.

- Learn Color: Color doesn't need to be complex. Understand how colors interact with each other and learn how color can set moods.

I am a UX designer and have spoken with a potential client who intially wanted to redesign the navigation and landing page of their site. They showed me analytics saying only .35% of users open the main menu (most access different pages through Google search and then leave the site) so it's not worth the time to redesign. I see a lot of growth potential here, but they don't see the value in good nav if users don't already use it. How do I show them the value of good nav? Should I just let it go?

Has anyone had any experience in Augmented Reality design? What tools do you use?

I have a hard time articulating and communicating ideas to my team. On top of that, English is not my first language. I’m 27 but sometimes I feel like a jr. How can I empower myself and beat the impostor syndrome ? Do you honestly think that being a woman I have to work twice harder for it?

Which is the most structured Figma course you've ever taken?
I need something which is really structured like Linkedin Learning.

Hi UX designers, how would you test a signup and onboarding flow/design to measure for task completion to validate the design before handing it over to the dev team?

Thanks!
