Figma has revolutionised the design industry by making design collaborative, web-based, and accessible. Understanding Figma isn’t just about learning a tool; it’s about mastering the modern design workflow used by companies like Google, Airbnb, and Uber. This week, we transition from theory to practice, giving you the hands-on skills to bring your design ideas to life.
The Industry Shift:
2015: Design tools were desktop-bound, expensive, and isolated
2024: Figma enables real-time collaboration, version control, and seamless handoff
Future: Cloud-native, AI-enhanced design workflows
