It was the longest three weeks of my entire life! Do you know what was the worst part? That I couldn’t tell anyone for three weeks until the schedule went out. And once they sent me the congratulations email I didn’t believe it. Firstly, the application was quite long and detailed but I took my time to fill it in, but they reached out after more than a month, so I already thought I’m not getting in. It worked out! How did it feel when you got accepted? But, one day, our colleague posted about an open call for speakers on Slack and I was like “hmmm that’s Figma, and we have really cool reporting in Figma!” I know that Figma is mostly a tool for designers and I’m a researcher but I really like to break stereotypes and make the impossible possible! So I told myself that I will just apply with our reporting and see what happens. Config is huge, there are around 100,000 people registered to watch it and it lasts for 24 hours. Could you tell us more about the idea behind going there?Īctually, in the beginning, I didn’t even think that I could go to a conference like this as a speaker. You recently went to the Config conference in San Francisco in the US and gave a speech about how to make your research insights more actionable with Figma.
