Join Figma for Education & Intern Ship for an unforgettable night of craft, creativity, & connection - designed especially for student designers, interns, & early-career creatives who care deeply about the art of making (and making new friends).
At Figma, we're obsessed with design craft-the intentional, thoughtful act of making-and building community spaces that celebrate that spirit. This night brings together our student community to honor what makes craft so special: the details, the storytelling, the systems, & those weird little workflows we secretly love.
But this night is also about you.
Whether you're an intern designing your first prototype or a creative soul hunting for your people, this is your chance to:
Get inspired by lightning talks from real Figma designers
Play & tinker at hands-on interactive stations
Mingle over food in a low-pressure environment that makes it easy to talk to strangers
Celebrate the quirky, joyful, human side of design
Soak in the views at Figma's stunning NYC office - seriously, the space alone is worth showing up for. Artfully designed, cozy yet cutting-edge, with epic views of the city skyline. You'll want to snap a pic (or five).
Agenda
6:30-7:00 PM - Welcome, mocktails, & snacks. Ease in, grab a drink, & say hi-no awkward intros required
7:00-8:00 PM - Design Talks: Hear from Figma employees & special guests as they unpack their creative process, philosophy, & how they make design just a little weirder (in the best way possible).
8:00-9:00 PM - Dinner break. Recharge, refuel, & maybe spark an unexpected conversation over something tasty.
9:00-10:00 PM - Mingle + network. No pressure. Just meaningful conversations with fellow makers & dreamers.
This isn't just a night to talk about craft. It's a space to build community, swap ideas, & connect with others who are shaping their creative path with heart & curiosity.
So come for the design. Stay for the people. Let's make something weird-and wonderful-together.
