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