Course overview
Make better components for your design kits
We’ll use Figma for this class, but that’s not really the point. Components are useful because they help you really think about how interfaces are constructed, and play more nicely with others. Figma is a solid means to an end.
Who is this course for
01
You. You care about your craft, and want to make components your colleagues will compliment.
02
Designers who don’t mind rolling up their sleeves and getting into the nitty gritty.
03
Designers who enjoy meeting other designers from around the world and nerding out together.
What you’ll get out of this course
Meet, practice, and have fun learning with other designers
Naturally, this class is hands-on and collaborative.
Make more thoughtful decisions
We’ll sweat the small stuff... like naming, ordering, and setting defaults.
Tables!
OK there’s no really great way to make tables in Figma, but we’re gonna get as close as we can!
Become a 1.05x designer
Let’s be honest, this will only speed you up a bit, but you’ll feel the difference.
