Talks, Trainings & Hackathons

The first designers' meetup at Quadcode wasn't a coincidence. After joining the company, we conducted surveys to understand how other product development team members and stakeholders perceived designers, their processes, and responsibilities.

As a result, we established a recurring event. The design team awarded participants with medals - real coconuts on strings - for the best questions.

The project was completed within 24 hours, and the instrument launched on the trading platform.

In one day we built an admin panel for events — naming-convention rules, event type creation, parameter management — and an internal Figma plugin for annotating layouts with analytical events, wired straight into the admin panel.

I talked about standard approaches in development and design, and also how to apply them in Figma.

I talked about examples of design language from brands and from whole countries. We discussed the main features of design language and how to apply them in practice.

I went through approaches to typography systems and their trade-offs. We worked through examples and the parts that are hard to get right.

Explained the advantages and disadvantages of SVG animation, filters that few people know about and which have poor support in tools like Figma, as well as Keyshape app.
