  Figma Workflow Masterclass

  Full-day workshop • Thursday, October 13, 2022.
  Ever handed off this fantastic design to development and then wasn’t quite so happy (putting it politely) when seeing it in the browser? Do you have some experience with designing, but don’t know how to set up your project in such a way to get your ideas across? Then this workshop might be just right for you.
  
  We will look at aspects such as Figma Auto Layout, responsive designs, components, exporting assets with Figma. We will be working with a good mix of theory and hands-on exercises and plenty of room for your questions.
