In this module, we’ll build on the basics by creating variables from scratch and exploring how to use modes. I’ll show how modes can help you support things like light and dark themes, and how to stay organized as your variables grow.

Creating Variables & Modes


In this module, we’ll get started with Auto Layout, one of the most useful features in Figma. I’ll walk through how it works, what it can do, and how to start using it to build flexible, responsive designs.

Grab a sneak peek of a portion of course content! ✨🎬 In this module, we’ll explore how to use the Dev Mode MCP Server to connect Figma with external tools like Cursor. I’ll walk through how to get set up, how it works, and how it can help bring design and code even closer together.
