Intro to Figma | Noble Desktop

Learn what Figma can do for your design workflow. This free class is for anyone new to UX design (user experience) and UI design (user interface), new to Figma, as well as designers with experience in other design apps. We’ll even discuss how Figma compares to the competition (Adobe XD and Sketch) to help you decide which to use.

Modern digital design apps like Figma, Adobe XD, and Sketch have been created specifically for designing websites and apps. You plan the UX, design the UI, and turn them into working prototypes all in within Figma. Designers who have been using Photoshop and Illustrator are switching to apps like Figma because it has more features for UI and UX design making it easier to use for those projects.

This is the perfect way for you to see what Figma can do before diving into one of our hands-on courses such as our Figma Bootcamp or UX & UI Design Certificate.
