    Hey! 👋

    I enjoy working at the intersection of education and design.

    Currently, I am a Learning Experience Designer working on K-12 products for students. I also am a former middle school teacher. 🤓

    Things that are keeping me busy lately:

    👉 EdTech product design
    👉 UX of EdTech Podcast 🎧
    👉 FoF Educators (Join us!) 🍎
    👉 My baby son and mom life ❤️

    Looking forward to learning from you all and am just completely fascinated by Figma’s use for learning and the classroom. Basically, Figma is the future of education.

    Hi, I’m Peter.
    Greetings from Poland.

    I’m UI & UX designer at mobile game company.
    Using Figma as tool for animated prototypes, fast prototyping, wireframing, flows, marketing, etc

    I’m currently thinking to go full FIGMA with UI, but there are still some problems that hold me back.
    update: Just transfered whole UI Design to Figma with Design System, with help of few plugins it was awesome experience. Thanks @figma

    Stay healthy!

    Hi everyone, My name is Bilal & I am from Pakistan. I am the CEO of AbmaSoft.com. We are designing web apps with Adobe XD and recently have started using Figma. We learned a lot just in a matter of a couple of days we are working fast on Figma. The software is simply amazing and we are just loving it. A lot of help is also available to learn and I understand why as people love it.

    So count me in as well in the Figma family.

    TLDR; Jac is a designer testing out Figma for its speed and really really likes web/UI Design. To those who are looking for a web designer, you can find her portfolio here: https://www.behance.net/jacnotjac

    Not TLDR;
    Hi there. I’m Jac and have been learning design for 6 months. I was a Japanese to English translator before but found myself wanting to shift careers. I started with Photoshop to add something to my skillset. I found a very practical course that helped me make sense on how to those Photoshop skills via graphic design and web/UI design. Unlike programming (I really really tried 🙁 ), I got sucked into design and probably have been eating and breathing design everyday. 😆

    I really really like web/UI design the most and transitioned to Adobe XD for speed. Then I find myself wanting to test out Figma as it was recommended to me by other web designers.

    Looking forward to learning! 👋

    Greetings everyone! I’m Jeff! Im an 8-year user of Sketch and 20+ years as a Graphic and Product Designer, and I want to give FIgma a shot.

    If it’s anything like Sketch I am more than familiar with what it’s capabilities are, but what I lack is a resource for some training/tutorials to really get used to the differences from Sketch.

    Is there anywhere I can get comprehensive training courses that breeze over or completely skip the fundamentals (for instance, I don’t need to spend an hour on the drawing tools, or how to create an artboard for mobile web, or any of the “How to Create an Engaging Landing Page” etc…) and get into the more intermediate or advance usage of Figma’s capability matrix? Like a really good Udemy or Coursera course?

    Check out this article from Figma itself: What to expect when moving from Sketch to Figma It seems to be covering the biggest of differences quite well.

    Hi, I’m Mads. I’m heading up our small design team at Airtame based in Copenhagen Denmark. After I as was introduced to Figma there was no looking back. Even though Illustrator and InDesign are like second nature I still prefer Figma for almost all design tasks. And if Figma doesn’t quite cut it it’s usually code that is the next option.
    As a parent of two, I don’t have much time to spare so besides work I only get to do a bit of photography.

    Currently I have not made any Figma plugins but maybe someday I get around to that 🙂
