THE BRIEF

How can Figma enable short bursts of creative work?

7 days. 4 designers. 1 challenge: designing a Figma experience that empowers creators to do meaningful work in short, spontaneous bursts.

CONTEXT

Designers who care about their craft are constantly thinking about their projects...

Whether waiting in line, commuting, or between meetings, there are countless micro-moments in a day when inspiration strikes or a small task could move a project forward.

SOLUTION

Introducing live comments to Figma.

With live comments, capture visual annotations + voice notes to create really powerful, quick, high-fidelity ideas that are easy to understand and reference later.

Give rich feedback on-the-go

Live comments pair sketch annotations with live voice recordings to create live comments that are convenient to make and easy to understand. This serves as an asynchronous way to share ideas and feedback with your team without losing momentum or context.

THE OUTCOME

We got feedback on our project from leading industry designers.

Aside from the valuable feedback, we also won our competition (on 0 hours of sleep and a bunch of stomach issues - haha).
