Design teams looking to take their design system to the next level or transition from another tool.
03
Non-designers and career switchers who want to turbo boost their Figma skills and gain a deeper understanding of design systems.
By the end of this bootcamp you will have built an entire design system in Figma. One with expertly designed styles, components, and workflows that are ready for anything!
Learn exactly when and how to use Figma's most advanced features like variables (NEW), auto layout, variants, and properties.
Learn the benefits of using different Figma workflows and how they can best serve your product & team.
Learn and build alongside a cohort of fellow designers. Sharing feedback, holding each other accountable, and forming lasting relationships.

Hey, I'm Molly! 👋 The creator of UI Prep. A Figma design resource that has 100K+ UI kit downloads and creates custom-built design systems for a wide range of companies. I've also trained designers and design teams from amazing companies like Adobe, Microsoft, Square, Atlassian, Gusto, and Open Table.

Set up your design system workflow and Figma file(s)
Learn about different Figma workflows and determine which is best for you. Then set up your file(s) with styles and icons.
02
Tokenize your colors and numbers with Variables
Create a system of primitive and semantic variables (from config23) to improve the design process and developer handoff.
03
Introduction to components & responsive design
Build multiple responsive component sets to master the concepts of auto layout, components, variants, and properties.

Advanced 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.
05
Free build & team collaboration
Build multiple components of your choosing. Getting feedback from your peers and Molly on the best approach. Then learn how to start designing and collaborating with your system.
2hr per week
1-2 modules per week with lessons walking you through the process of building a full design system in Figma. Each one with recorded demo videos & additional resources to help you complete the next project.
2hr per week
Build a full design system by completing a series of bite-sized independent projects. For example, "Create scalable color styles" and "Build a button component set using auto layout, variants, and properties".
