Day 1 Closing Keynote - Designing the Biden-Harris campaign

on YouTube ↗26m

" summary

The Biden‑Harris design team claims it designs web, plane, stage and merch all in one Figma file, uses rapid response playbooks and mock debates to rehearse, hires a distributed team from 3 to 25 and ships assets in minutes. Concrete builds include JoeBiden.com, a campaign plane mock in Figma, a union‑printed flyswatter printed in minutes and a layered victory gradient that becomes the visual system on election night — and these pieces deploy successfully under tight time pressure.
