Create a system of primitive and semantic variables (from config23) to improve the design process and developer handoff.

Tokenize your colors and numbers with Variables 

Build multiple responsive component sets to master the concepts of auto layout, components, variants, and properties.

Introduction to components & responsive design

Build multiple complex component sets that are highly responsive, dynamic, and stateful. Giving you a deep understanding of how and when to use auto layout, components, variants, and properties.

Course syllabus

Self-taught shouldn't be the standard. Designers need training to develop a shared understanding of best practices and keep up with new Figma features.
