Figma Make Is Wild. But Is It Really the Future of Design? | Figma Config 2025 Breakdown
The design community is divided. Some love the Figma Config announcements while others hate it. We've seen every type of comment from 'the output code sucks' to 'Figma just ended Illustrator'. But which one is true? Or is none of it true?
In this episode, Tyler White and Nick Groeneveld discuss Figma Config's 2025 announcements and how Figma Make, Figma Sites, and the rest impact product and UX designers today.
We’re breaking down:
✅ Why Figma Make might redefine what prototyping looks like
✅ How Figma Sites could reshape how designers (and non-designers) build for the web
✅ The growing concerns about code quality and accessibility inside design tools
✅ Why coding is becoming critical for freelancers and startup designers
✅ How IPO-level moves from Figma signal a shift in priorities
✅ Why the design community is split and what that says about where we’re headed
If you’re wondering whether to embrace AI, pick up coding skills, or double down on prototyping—this episode will help you stay relevant in a post-Config world.
