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.
In this class, you’ll thoroughly learn Sketch from beginning to advanced features for UI (user interface) and UX (user experience) 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. You’ll learn how to share symbols (and styles) across files and computers to keep everything in sync and updated. This is useful for individual designers, but especially important when managing a team of designers to make sure everyone is using the latest design components.
Sketch is vector-based, so graphics can scale for a variety of sizes and export as high-resolution (Retina @2x) graphics for the web or apps. Exporting graphics is quick. Mark what you want to export, select the file type and size, and you’re ready to export.
Turn your designs into clickable prototypes using Sketch’s prototyping tools. Start using Sketch plugins that add new features and save time by making things easier by using plugins that we recommend.

Having completed the Sketch 101 course, I now have confidence in my capacity to utilize this program effectively alongside my team. Our instructor provided us with a comprehensive lesson and valuable reference materials for navigating future projects in Sketch.
Dan is a great teacher! He has really mastered the perfect balance of efficiency and information. It felt like we covered a lot without being overwhelmed. I loved this class and would happily recommend it to others.
I had a basic knowledge of Sketch prior to this class. However, this class really gave me the tools and confidence to make the most out of the program.
This was easily the best creative bootcamp I have experienced. The presentation style and delivery was A+, the pace was easy to follow, the instructions were easy to execute, and the presenter tied it all together nicely. I highly recommend this course.
Would highly recommend others to take this course if you're trying to learn the ins and outs of Sketch in just 2 days! Materials offered to follow along are yours to keep and reference back to, which is super helpful.
Would take a course from here again. Dan had a great depth of knowledge and willingness to explain all ways of approaching projects. Also, had a great pace of going through the material and stopping to address any questions.
Dan was very thorough. Learned a lot. Sketch went from my least favorite to second favorite.
So helpful! Presented at a great pace. Good format (run-through, then hands-on exercise). Thank you, Dan!!
Dan is great, informed, and passionate about the subject matter.
Great course! Very informative and detailed. Our instructor was very knowledgable and explained the content clearly. Exercises were easy to follow and progressed with difficulty as the course advanced. I had a great experience and would recommend this course to anyone who wants to use Sketch professionally. After completing it I feel well informed and prepared to do my job.
This is exactly what I needed. The information Dan navigated was clear and direct, and easily understandable. I learned a lot in a short time
Excellent class, no detail was wasted!!!
Very knowledgable, and easy to follow along.
I'm really glad I found Noble Desktop! I've been using Photoshop for web design projects for the past 5 years, and I knew I needed to be up to date with the latest technology. I tried figuring it out on my own but it was too overwhelming, and YouTube videos only got me so far. I was looking for an online class with a live instructor, and this was exactly what I needed to get a good understanding and have confidence using the software at my workplace. I was shown so many solutions to things that were holding me back in Photoshop, and I'm excited to start using it now.
This software is a very interesting pivot from the Adobe software. I feel like I learned all the secrets to it from this course as well.
This 2-day Sketch Bootcamp covers the most practical uses of Sketch. From creating those nice arrow buttons and pin maps to prototyping to showcase your work without sweating a code. Totally worth it!
The content was progressive and covered the most salient aspects of the Sketch platform – perfect for a quick refresher or an introduction.
Dan's a very knowledgeable and helpful instructor. He really knows Sketch in and out and also can compare Sketch features to other popular programs. As a long-time Sketch user, I was surprised at how much I learned in this class. Very worthwhile class!
I recommend this course to anyone who’s interested in getting a foundation in Sketch. The tools learned today will help my team collaborate with other graphic and content designers.
I went out on my own two years ago after 25 years in corporate America. Continuing education is essential to my success—I am so grateful that Noble Desktop exists. In my experience, the instructors are, without exception, engaging and invested in the students understanding the material. I look forward to your classes because I know I will walk away with a wealth of information that will forward my career and business.
