Config 2024: From paper to pixels: why great ideas start on a napkin (Raphael Schaad)
Why do great ideas for designs and interactions often start with a sketch in a notebook or on a whiteboard? Sketching is approachable, it's flexible, it's focused. Raphael will show his process of combining paper with Figma and how to level up your design craft. He will then switch tack and highlight the shortcomings of paper - and how he has brought 10 years worth of analog field notes back into Figma and onto its infinite canvas to create a digital second brain.
Featuring: Raphael Schaad, Founder & Designer, Cron (acquired by Notion)

The 4 quadrant design file technique is fascinating and very intuitive, excited to give it try myself!

This is golden. Raphael is such a creative ✨I ordered a bunch of Field Notes notebooks right after this :)

Love the talk and the idea of paper notes. How long did it take to scan those written notes to Figma?
