Ukrainian people are among the many contributing authors, volunteers, and members of our team that have enabled UX Magazine to serve the community for 17 years.

We stand with our team members from Ukraine, and the people of Ukraine. If you want to help, here is a (growing) list of ways that you can help Ukrainian people through donations and/ or actions:

  • Calling all Designers! Designers United For Ukraine is collecting names of designers and businesses interested in helping and/or hiring displaced Ukrainian designers to reach safety and continue to work...

  • A special fundraising account was created by the National Bank of Ukraine specifically to support Ukraine’s Armed Forces – https://bit.ly/3BSQoyv

  • The International Rescue Comittee (founded by Albert Einstein) is rushing critical aid to displaced families as Russia invades Ukraine and civilians seek safety. Help them support families affected by the Ukraine crisis.

  • Therapysts for Ukraine – Ukrainians get four therapy sessions (usually 45-50 minutes) free of charge. Please note that most of them speak English, and not Ukrainian!

  • The Kyiv Independent is covering the conflict from within the conflict zone and is fundraising to continue coverage.

  • Voices of Children provides emergency psychological assistance to Ukrainian children impacted by the war.

  • Sunflower of Peace prepares first aid tactical backpacks for paramedics and doctors on the ground.

  • Vostok-SOS hotlines are helping people evacuate, and are providing humanitarian aid and psychosocial support.

  • Doctors Without Borders is equipping surgeons in eastern Ukraine with trauma care traiining and is providing emergency response activities in Poland, Moldova, Hungary, Romania and Slovakia.

Figma adds AI and new tools to stay on top, but its future faces big risks.

Article by Alex Smith
Figma takes on all of the competition in the age of AI
  • This article provides and overview and perspective on how Figma is leveling up its tools — adding AI, website publishing, and advanced drawing so designers can do more in one place.

  • They’re going after big competitors like Adobe, Canva, and Webflow by making Figma’s platform a “one-stop shop” for design and marketing work.

  • This author believes that despite the AI hype, Figma isn’t dying — they’re adapting fast to keep users happy and stay on top.

  • The big risk is the future — if Figma goes public and raises prices, they could become like Adobe (huge but expensive) or risk losing users to the next big, more intuitive design tool.
