Earlier this week, Figma released a feature I was almost sure we wouldn't see until this year's Config: typography variables! 🎉🔤 Excited to hit publish on this post, recapping all that's new and how we can finally adjust text style based on screen size.

There is nothing more scientifically accurate than using a Finder window to make sure elements within a design are correctly aligned.

Typographic & gradient variables in Figma are finally here! Already jamming away on the next newsletter and can't wait to share a few thoughts and demos with you! 📝🤓

It feels absolutely surreal to share this, but Level Up with Figma has just passed 750 enrolled students! Having the chance to teach and work with others has given me so much insight into where I want to take my career. So grateful for the support. 🙏💛

Multi-edit came with so many good improvements, but by far, my favorite is the ability to align objects with respect to the frame they're in. 🙌📏

Multi-edit from Figma is one of those rare features in software design that makes you feel like, at least for a brief moment, you’ve just gained a new superpower. I've used it for a few days now, and wrote all about how it works and what's new! 📝

Met with a designer earlier this week who had applied to nearly 500 jobs and finally got their first yes back today. Keep hanging in there. 💛

Excited to be back on ADPList! If there's anything I can help you with, from design systems to portfolios and career help or Figma, I'd love to meet and say hi. 👋😊

I recorded a quick overview of the free/viewer experience in Figma since I've seen a lot of questions from the community about what you can/can't do. I hope this helps!

This was the first frame from an Apple Vision Pro review that made me believe we’re all going to be using and leaning into spacial computing soon enough. It always comes back to timers.
