This class is not currently available. Take our Figma Bootcamp to learn the current industry-standard tool for user experience (UX) and user interface (UI) design.
You’ll learn to design web layouts for mobile, tablet, and desktop (or screens for apps) using text, graphics, styles, and more. With artboards and layout guides, you can design on popular grid systems (like Bootstrap), making it easier to design responsive webpages.
Symbols are where Sketch really shines. They let you reuse design elements (such as buttons) while allowing each instance to be customized. Being able to globally update symbols will enable you to create flexible design systems that are easier to manage.
Sketch is vector-based, so graphics can scale for a variety of sizes, and export as hi-res (Retina @2x) graphics for the web or apps. Exporting graphics is quick. Mark what you want to export, select the filetype and size, and you’re ready to export.
If you want to learn Sketch in greater depth, you should check out our 12-hour Sketch Bootcamp.

Dan Rodney is a star! Patient and extremely knowledgable.
This was a great experience for our Creative Department. I think we all learned a lot about Sketch and appreciate the skills necessary to design and then program digital pieces.
I had a class with Dan years ago and highly recommended him to my company for Sketch. I'm so glad I did. I learned so much and went from knowing nothing to feeling very confident in the program.
Definitely gave a good overview of Sketch and the foundation for getting us all up to speed. Great class, would be interested in checking out other offerings.
Dan was clear and kept the content moving at a good pace without it getting overwhelming. He was patient with all the questions and comprehensive in his answers. As a production person, I really appreciated his emphasis on setting things up properly!
As someone who has used Sketch for years, this class still taught me some tips and tricks I didn't know about.
Dan was extremely informative and broke down Sketch perfectly for beginners just starting out. I think the class was very helpful and as someone who already used Sketch for a while, I still learned a lot.
Dan knows his stuff. He did a great job of not only explaining Sketch, but also went above and beyond in giving everyone a solid foundation.
Dan is great, informed, and passionate about the subject matter.
Dan was very thorough. Learned a lot. Sketch went from my least favorite to second favorite.
I was easily able to pick up Sketch which I needed for work. Plus you can learn at your own pace. The instructor was patient and was able to answer many different questions and handle people at different skill levels and experience
Super helpful in becoming familiar with basic concepts in Sketch
Super helpful in becoming familiar with basic concepts in Sketch
The class was easy to follow with the live instruction and materials. I was able to walk away from the course feeling proficient in Sketch and able to understand the key components.
Highest recommendation for anybody taking this class.
Great crash course with details that are easy to follow.
The Sketch in a Day class was a great investment for me and my team. We now all have the fundamental tools to use this program efficiently and productively!
Class was super informative. Not only did Dan show how the program worked, but he went into the history of the software, and the many ways to go about doing things within the program. The projects were very organized, and very easy to follow. Dan didn't just read us the pdf, but instructed us in a very casual manner, and the provided material complimented the lessons he was demonstrating very nicely.
Learning something new is very intimidating but Dan Rodney at Noble Desktop really took the time to clearly explain everything and I actually feel pretty comfortable with the program for just learning the basics in a day.
Sketch in a Day provided a great overview of the app with a well-constructed approach of going over concepts, then having the class work hands-on with those concepts. It was well paced, taught by an industry professional to industry professionals. Overall, an excellent way to spend a day to get up and running in Sketch!
Great way to learn Sketch. Highly recommend!
Sketch in a Day is a great introductory class and gives you a substantial overview of the program without being overwhelming.
I definitely felt like I learned a lot and am the materials we were provided will serve me down the line. Dan answered all questions extremely thoroughly. 10/10 would recommend.
The Sketch in a Day class is great! The instructor is very thorough and knowledgeable about the program, and I feel that I'll be able to really build on the skills that I learned during the class. I'd highly recommend it!
Sketch in a Day is a great way to get a crash course that will help understand the different functionalities, key commands, and unknown tips for best practices.
