Hi my name is Furquan, I'm a senior product designer at Meta in London, where I also grew up! Previously, I was solving mobility problems at Ford. During my time at Ford i set up a YouTube channel, where I teach others about design and share my journey, with the intention to help out and inspire as many designers across the world. The channel has 100,000s of views. I also like to write a design newsletter, which is read by 1000s of designers across the world.
Join The Livestream And Submit Your Portfolio For Review!
Live Portfolio Reviews And Q&A Steam!Hey Reader,I wanted to personally invite you to join me for a live stream next week where I will be reviewing portfolios and answering questions on anything from design to career-related topics. The livestream is scheduled for this Monday April 10th at 4pm (UK time). This is a great opportunity to get some personalized feedback during Ramadan. Whether you're just starting out in your design career or you're a seasoned pro looking to take your skills to the next level, this live stream is for you. I'll be sharing my insights and experience to help you achieve your design goals. So mark your calendars and don't miss out on this chance to connect with me and other designers in the community. I can't wait to see you there! I'll also do a livestream where i'll work on my new portfolio presentation leveraging Figma video to make the deck a lot more exciting. One issue with Figma video is you can't use this feature if you're on a free plan, which is quite annoying.
Midjourney AI MagazineI'm still waiting for my magazine to come. But get inspired and see the most upvoted artwork generated through Midjourney. A human still has to edit the magazine and compile everything together, but I think it's pretty exciting to see some of the best artwork from the community printed and featured in a central place.
Config 2023 Figma ConferenceI'm going to try my best to attend the Figma Config design conference in San Francisco in person! (Subject to the upcoming lay-offs at Meta). If anyone is considering going, let me know.
