So, this is more like an intro TO a masterclass than one itself. If you were ever to produce an actual masterclass on Figma, I would be a buyer. You’re hands down the best instructor for Figma course material I’ve ever come across.

The title is misleading. This is not a master class. But it is a really good quick overview 👍🏾

I'm a complete newbie to Figma and after trying out various tutorials, this was the first truly beginner-friendly one I found. So easy to follow with clear commentary on each feature! :)

You wrapped everything I needed to know in this one video and delivered it with such finesse that exceeded all expectations.
Thank you, Jesse. You are awesome.

The interactivity at @28:00 for home going to home 2 could've also been done using the overflow scrolling feature in the prototype tab. Simply select the parent container of the face image > go to Prototype > set Overflow Scrolling to horizontal and voila. This way, you dont need to dupe the home for that functionality.

Just learned about Figma today and just from playing around with it for 20 minutes I am in LOVE!! It has some of the most used features from Illustrator but is honestly so much easier to look at, and I really love the user interface. I can tell its gonna be amazing for brainstorming layouts. Can't wait to learn more!!

For me who has been an advanced Adobe XD user for a while and need to transfer a whole project to Figma in one week, this class was a great help to get me started as fast as possible with this app...

[pglickman]

Just starting with Figma. I’ve been through several beginner videos and this was by far the best for what I need. Thank you!

[lupras]

Thanks, I need this, you are an awesome teacher! I need to build upon that Google cert. When I finally get that UX interview, I'm going to mention your channel as a learning resources.

[genevievenaidoo]

Amazing tutorial! I'm starting my first UX job and I have to work more on Figma than XD. This lesson really helped me learn a few basics quickly, since I'm proficient in XD. I paused and practiced everything taught! Great stuff bro!

[sepidehfa]

This video included very useful topics that I didn't even expect in a Figma video. For example, responsive was one of them. thank you so much.

[suzi_izy]

I can learn everything about Figma in one video and this can help a lot. Thank you Jess.

[jordy]

[guerra_dos_bichos]

[Lambdaphile]

I was skeptical at the beginning but it turned out that this was exactly what I was looking for! Exceptionally good overview, thanks!

[nievomy]
