Syllabus

Building Responsive Foundations with Auto Layouts

This module dives deep into advanced Auto Layout capabilities in Figma. You’ll start by cleaning up messy frames and move into creating fully responsive nested layouts. By the end, you’ll use plugins and creative styling (like gradients) to elevate your visual designs.

Animating UI Elements with Motion & Feedback

Explore the fun and functional side of Figma motion design. This module teaches you how to animate everything from background gradients to text masks using advanced interactions. You’ll also develop your critique skills to enhance collaborative UX workflows.

Navigation, Sticky Scrolls & Mobile Prototyping

This module is all about mobile-first interactivity. You’ll master how to create sticky headers, scrolling content, and optimize your navigation flows in prototypes. Technical control meets creative precision as you build realistic app experiences.

Interactive Components & OS UI Design

Learn how to design sophisticated UI interactions using Figma’s interactive components. From micro-interactions like toggles to system-level details like status bars, this module helps you bring realism to your design prototypes.

Advanced Layer & Variant Management in Design Systems

This module gives you the superpowers to tame messy files and optimize workflows. Learn to use powerful Figma shortcuts, rename tools, and smart variant swaps to streamline complex projects and design systems.

Component Properties & Design System Integration

You’ll finish strong with expert-level component skills. This module explores advanced properties like Boolean toggles, text overrides, and simplified instances—all essential for scalable, reusable design systems. Plus, you’ll sharpen your typography tools for final polish.
