At Miro, our goal is to help teams collaborate better to create the next big thing. Over the past year, we’ve built new features that help teams go further and faster together, transforming Miro into the go-to Innovation Workspace for millions.
We also know true innovation doesn’t come from tools or features alone. It’s the emotions sparked throughout the creative process that make the difference, unlocking a connection to the work that inspires bold, meaningful innovation.
The Magic of Miro
In developing our design language, we made a commitment to underscore Miro’s unique spirit that our users know and love, while exploring even more ways to deepen team engagement and create memorable experiences.
Our users feel as though ““if you can dream it, if you can think about it, if it’s something you want to do, you can do it in Miro”. We learned that Miro has become the tool for blue sky creation and out-of-the-box thinking, because people feel confident to be themselves. Miro’s playful and creative essence gives users a safe space to take risks, and the optimism to try something new. The presence of others on the canvas also creates a unique energy and connection to draw from – most people don’t even hide cursors: “nobody turns it off, because they want to know where their colleagues are.”
Amplifying that energy, creativity, freedom and shared activity, was at the heart of our design language.
Aura Design
Our new Product Design language — Aura serves as a meaningful expression of Miro’s identity.
The name “Aura” was chosen because it implies that Miro is more than just a tool — it is a space that empowers creativity and brings energy to every interaction. It is about the flow of ideas, the freedom to create, and the sense of connection that comes from working together. Aura also reflects the essence of light, clarity, and insight, which are central to fostering innovative thinking.
Much like the subtle yet powerful atmosphere surrounding a person or space — Aura represents the seamless blend of function and feeling that defines the Miro platform.
The foundation of Aura is a set of design principles that shape Miro’s design, ensuring every step along the journey is paved with intention.
Energize minds
Innovation isn’t just about the final launch – it’s the momentum teams build along the way. When teams contribute, collaborate, and inspire one another, that flow of energy is amplified through playful and creative design interactions.
Illuminate moments
When you’re in your flow, Miro is present and intelligently anticipating the next move to accelerate team creativity. By illuminating pivotal steps along the journey, momentum stays high and teams are energised to bring ideas further.
Feel the pulse
Picking up a pencil or flipping through notepaper sparks creativity, and Miro brings that same physical charge to the digital space. Tactile objects and interactions create a tangible connection to the work, making collaboration feel immediate and immersive.
Spark emotions
Human expression thrives in spaces that welcome authenticity. Miro is an invitation for individual creativity, creating an inclusive space to experiment, explore, and bring ideas to life.
By focusing on thoughtful, human-centered details, Aura enhances the user experience in ways that are both functional and inspiring.
When you’re brainstorming with sticky notes, you’ll notice how they capture the charm of their real-world counterparts. Slight variations in angles, shadows, and textures give them an authentic feel. It’s a subtle touch that makes your ideas feel alive.

Collaboration on Miro is now even more expressive and engaging, giving you new ways to connect with your team. With playful stickers, reactions, and animations, you can add personality and energy to your canvas. Interactive stickers evolve as your teammates react, turning every plus-one into a celebration of shared enthusiasm that makes teamwork feel lively, fun, and rewarding.

The Aura Design System
The new Design System, built with the Aura Design Language at its core, serves as a comprehensive framework to deliver a consistent and seamless user experience across Miro’s platform.

Enhanced readability and visual clarity
Our updated color palette features a wider range of modern, refreshed shades that enhance contrast and readability. The added variations give you more flexibility in creating hierarchy and matching colors. Whether you’re designing detailed workflows or brainstorming ideas, the new palette supports clarity and focus.
A global font for all users
To meet the needs of Miro’s diverse, global community, we’ve introduced Noto Sans as our new body font. Noto spans over 100 writing systems and supports 800 languages, ensuring that content is legible and inclusive for users worldwide.
Simplified and cohesive visuals
We’ve refreshed Miro’s icons and thumbnails to prioritize simplicity, consistency, and scannability. The new icons feature a mix of beveled and rounded edges, inspired by our brand identity, making them distinct yet harmonious across the platform. The updated board thumbnails further enhance visual clarity, helping users navigate and organize their work effortlessly.
Live now on the platform, these updates are designed to make the interface more vibrant, and cohesive, creating a more engaging and collaborative experience for everyone.
