Figma is a modern design app built with the specific needs of a modern web designer, UX designer, or app designer in mind. Unlike image editing programs such as Photoshop—which were originally created for print, photo retouching, or illustration—the entire focus of Figma is on designing user interfaces and user experiences. You can craft the visuals and turn them into working prototypes all in a single app!
Figma uses frames (which other apps call artboards), to efficiently design web layouts for mobile, tablet, and desktop (or screens for apps). It’s vector-based, so you can scale for a variety of screen sizes with ease, as well as export hi-res (Retina) graphics for websites, apps, etc. You’ll find tools and features specifically relevant to UI (User Interface) design and UX (User Experience) design, such as components, built-in prototyping tools, and much more.
In this class you’ll learn to create designs and then turn them into interactive prototypes that go from screen to screen, open navigation overlays, make specific areas within a screen scrollable, and more. You’ll even add animations to your designs using smart animate!
Figma is a web app and 100% cloud-based, so collaboration and easy file sharing is built-in. While you can install the Figma desktop app, you can also just log into Figma in any web browser and start designing without installing anything.
From our hands-on training style to world-class instructors and custom-crafted curriculum, we deliver results our alumni are proud of.
I learned a lot from Christophe, especially because he explained the lessons in a real-world context with many examples. He went beyond just teaching the tool and its functions.
Awesome class. The instructor was professional, well-articulated, calm, and personable.
My overall experience was very positive. It felt intensive at times, but that’s the nature of two consecutive 6-hour sessions, and no time was wasted.
Dan did such an amazing job of delivering the content in an engaging way. You could tell he didn't want to just get through the lessons; he really wanted us to understand the features and functions of Figma.
I had a great experience! I use Figma every day at work and am self-taught in the program This was awesome for filling in some gaps in my Figma knowledge! The instructor was great, easy to follow, and answered all the important questions!
Every creative person who works in Figma should take this course, from designers to researchers to content creators and writers. It will instantly up your game, and the skills you learn are invaluable.
There is a great amount of material covered. I'd explored Figma before but never understood prototyping or auto layout properly. Eugenio broke down the content and built knowledge up from the baseline. Now, it makes sense. The class was really great, I will definitely recommend it.
This is a good class to learn Figma. Eugenio is a good instructor and worked hard to answer all of my questions.
Michael Suen is a phenomenal UX/UI teacher. He is knowledgeable, but equally importantly, he always makes lessons compelling and easy to understand. He's kind, patient, and helpful.
Dan is a great teacher and speaker! I appreciate his approach as a designer paired with his technical knowledge of Figma, which helped me understand how to use the application. I would definitely take another class he teaches.
This class was an amazing deeper dive into Figma. Breaking things down step by step and then building upon complexity was great. Having materials to take home and practice has also been very helpful! Dan was a patient and skillful teacher, 100% recommend!
Dan is a wealth of knowledge and his relaxed and thoughtful lessons were a great starting point for developing your Figma skills. Great class! Miles ahead of any online tutorial video.
Another great class from Noble Desktop! Dan was very well-informed about the program and made sure to explain steps and processes in a manner that was very easy to understand. The written curriculum within the book itself is something that I can see being very useful long into the future.
Michael was super patient and taught at a pace I was able to follow. If I got lost or missed something, he always went back and took the time to review. Was just enough to learn the basics, and I now feel confident I can navigate our Figma files at work as well as create my own! This was a great ROI!
The class content and workbook materials were what I needed to get to know how to start using Figma on a professional level. Going over the workbook exercises/projects with the instructor was great. Michael was really informative, always stopped and asked if we needed any help, and gladly went over any and all questions. He pointed out where we should be following in the bootcamp workbook, and referred back to the workbook when letting us know what we would be covering in the next class when answering some advanced questions. Michael was engaging with the class throughout its entirety. The small class size was great because he was able to ask us direct questions and ask where we were during the exercises.
I'm glad that I decided to take this course, as I felt like it solidified my foundations in Figma and encouraged me to use the platform in a more efficient and intuitive way. The instructor did a really good job and was very helpful and engaging. They were patient with the class and understanding of everyone's varying levels of proficiency with Figma.
Dan was very easy to follow along and easy to understand when explaining complex features from Figma. Each lesson is easily understandable and explained very well. The examples used helped wrap my mind around how this could impact my work in the real world, with a real client.
I recently took the Figma Bootcamp course with Cameron, and it was a fantastic experience. Cameron's teaching style was informative and easy to follow, and I now feel confident in my ability to navigate and use the Figma program. Even though I had limited prior experience with Figma, this course has taken my design confidence to new heights. I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to improve their Figma skills. Thank you, Cameron, for a great experience!
This class was useful for learning what is Figma and how to use it to create website designs and prototypes.
Eugenio was patient and very knowledgeable about the program. His tips were very helpful! The handbook had clear, specific instructions that were easy to follow for me.
My instructor Eugenio was very approachable in answering any questions I had on the material, workbook exercises, or industry changes. I currently work in healthcare with patients and do not have any design experience, so I appreciate Noble Desktop allows us to take courses in person, access recordings for practice/review, and retake the class! Thank you!
Eugenio was a fantastic instructor. He explained everything very patiently and in great detail, often going over things multiple times to help everyone understand. As a complete beginner to Figma, I was able to follow along and complete the exercises easily.
You know at the end of Ratatouille where Anton Ego takes one bite of Ratatouille and in that moment, every single thing he'd experienced in life was inside of the one bite? That's how I felt ending this course. I feel like I've been using Sketch, InVision, and Abstract for soooooo long, and using Figma was a little bite of ratatouille that reminded me how design software can & should be just as user-friendly as the designs that we're creating for clients.
A clear, well-paced, and useful class that gave me a good working understanding of Figma along with a larger understanding of Figma as a creative tool.
Great class to understand the basics and learn the fundamentals of Figma's powerful toolset. Explained in a manner that is easy to understand with useful exercises and workbook.
