Figma Config 2026  ·  San Francisco

Not every problem I solve
is a design problem.

Some are strategy problems. Some are engineering problems. Some are AI adoption problems. Most are a mix of all three.

I'll be at Config to meet the people navigating that mix: product leaders, design directors, and engineering teams figuring it out in real time.

Four conversations
worth having.

01

AI in the actual product workflow

AI is changing how teams research, design, build, and make decisions. But the interesting part is not the demo. It is what survives inside real workflows, real teams, and real products.

02

Design systems that can keep up

Most teams want consistency and speed. Few get both. I'm interested in how design system teams are evolving their systems without turning them into heavy maintenance machines.

03

The design-to-engineering gap

The handoff conversation is not new, but it is changing. Design engineers, AI tooling, and tighter product loops are making the boundary between design and code more fluid and more complicated.

04

What still needs human judgment

Every year someone declares design dead. It never is. But the role keeps changing. I'm interested in what becomes faster, what becomes noisier, and what still depends on taste, context, and judgment.

Conversations that
shape our thinking.

Great products come from great perspectives. Time on the floor with the people building the tools, including Figma's Head of Product, keeps us close to where the work is heading.

A bit about me

I've been building products
a long time. Still figuring it out.

I founded Enspirit in 2008. The work sits somewhere between strategy, design, and engineering, and increasingly, AI.

I care about craft. I care just as much about whether the thing actually works once it leaves the canvas.

That is the conversation I am coming to Config for.

Let's meet at Config

If you're at Config, let's find fifteen minutes.

If any of this is on your mind, I'd enjoy the conversation. Two people building digital products, trying to understand where the work is headed.
