🌍 FOF World Tour 2025 - Design Never Sleeps: My 24-Hour Journey with the FOF World Tour as a Designer from Lahore.
As a UX designer based in Lahore, Pakistan, I recently joined the Friends of Figma (FoF) World Tour, a global 24-hour virtual event celebrating design, product, and engineering communities across continents. And what an inspiring ride it was! From morning sessions to late-night energy, I got to experience design insights as the sun rose and set across time zones. I was virtually present in sessions kicking off in the Americas. It felt like teleporting through cities via design!
The event covered a vibrant spectrum of topics, including sustainability, accessibility, design systems, motion, diversity, critique, leadership, storytelling, AI, game UX, Dev Tools, personal branding, and even emotional wellness. As a designer, I was thrilled to absorb so many perspectives in one continuous global loop.
