Design, prototype and collaborate in Figma
Figma has transformed the way designers work, offering a collaborative, browser-based space where UX and UI design, prototyping and design systems all live in one place. In this course you will start with the Figma fundamentals: the workspace, frames, layers, components and constraints that form the backbone of any Figma project. You will move on to interactive prototypes and core UX design principles, building the skills to design user flows that are both functional and beautiful. In the final week you will apply everything in a structured design project, working through real UX challenges with guidance from your lecturer. You will leave with a Certificate of Completion from the Academy of Digital Arts and a Figma prototype ready for your portfolio.
