#157 - The Future of Design Collaboration with Andrew Hogan of Figma

Episode notes

Few companies are most closely associated with UX design right now than Figma, which not only helps designers get their work done, but serves as a bridge for others to get more involved in the process. Erin and Carol are joined by Andrew Hogan, Figma's Head of Insights, to explore the nature of collaboration today and how the structure of that collaboration can impact our ability to effect UX change. Andrew shares some of his team's own research on design collaboration, from how it's changed , what still needs improving, and how UX professionals can collaborate better. This includes the growing and evolving impact of AI. He also talks about what he learned during his recent parental leave - including the pervasiveness of screens - and how he's applying that learning to his own team.
