Config 2025: Building in public with Figma: designers should be creators with Nolan Perkins

Config 2025: Figma's conference for people who build products

Starting with a TikTok comment that sparked an app idea & launched to 70k+ users, Nolan built a process for designing, validating, and launching products through social media. Designers are poised to be build-in public creators like no one else. They can create engaging content that gets people excited, use their research skills to find out what the masses are REALLY saying & bring the designs to life for initial MVP launches. This talk will cover the story of TaskTree, an app that he designed & built during the pandemic. He'll walk through ways to grow an audience around products designers are making.
