At Figma's annual conference, Config, a flurry of new tools and features were announced, with UI3 being the most ambitious redesign yet. CEO Dylan Field acknowledged the daunting task of revamping the interface of a tool used to design interfaces, emphasizing the meta nature of the process. The new UI features resizable panels, clearer iconography, and optional labels for a more streamlined experience. Figma Slides, a new presentation tool, and AI features also took center stage, signaling Figma's evolution towards a comprehensive design suite. The new UI aims to enhance cohesion within the expanding Figma ecosystem, providing a fluid and familiar experience across different Figma platforms. Designer Tim Van Damme's hand-drawn expressive icons and innovative AI features like visual search promise to revolutionize the design process. Field assured users a gradual rollout of UI3, starting with a limited beta in June 2024, with opportunities for feedback and improvement.
