A designer’s guide to sharing what you know
As the design community gears up for Config 2025, the focus turns to the skills, tools, and workflows that power modern product development. Whether you join in person or through free virtual registration, the event is an opportunity to exchange practical knowledge across design and engineering.
In that spirit, we’re highlighting some of the lessons we’ve collected on design and development—from operationalizing craft to managing handoff and writing clear copy. These aren’t just tips; they’re reminders that the learning process never really ends.

Before his keynote at Config, Saarinen shared how the company instills a culture of craft across every layer of the organization.
