This was Actually my first ever video for figma 3 years back and now i have full time high paying job as a UX Designer it means alot to me

[MINDTHEHEADPHONE]

Can we all just take a minute to appreciate how well produced this was? Great scenario, great lightning, great audio, great animations... Very nice!

[isaacsomuah]

This is insane. You literally saved me from taking an 11-hour course. I just needed the essentials to mock up my personal website. Thanks man!

[someguy]

I wish all design tutorials were this good. 3 years and 3.4m views later, this is still reaching new people that need it. Thanks a million for uploading this.

Instead of constantly clicking to select an element (especially within a group), you can press CMD, hover over the element you want, and click. It will select that element and save you from multiple (and very annoying) clicks. This was a big game changer for me that I learned while using Sketch. Works on Figma too.

[peterkim]

This is the exact "learning by doing" which is the fastest way to learn ! Thank you

[jankimehta]

I am just starting out as UI UX Designer and even the paid course on Udemy was nothing compared to what u showed in first few minutes… thank you so so much for sharing your knowledge …. I can’t wait to start a project and get the needed confidence 😊

[defilmkijker]

Have been using Figma for some months figuring most out myself, but this was a good beginner tutorial. One tip to make picking colors quicker is just to press "i" on your keyboard, immediately will make the eyedropper pop up. Saves a few clicks!

[bootsmadewalking]

Very helpful! I like how you assume that people are coming from a baseline-zero/beginner and go into detail without making it too confusing or lengthy. A true skill! :)

[memyadventures]

I’m an architect, now I can learn how this design tool works easily. Design is a big process, software is a tool. Great video.❤️👌

[StorytellerDan]

LOVE it when I find someone as crystal clear as yourself! Seriously, tutorials ARE seldom THIS good and easy to follow along. Here´s one subscription right here sir! Many thanks for putting this together. Much appreciated.

[jameshurliman]

As far as "learning things from YouTube" goes, this is like peak achievement here; you're an absolute legend man

[monika]

This is so far THE BEST tutorial on how to start with and how Figma works. Kudos to you, guys!!!

[jirehsamuel]

I am a grapgic designer with corel draw and photohop. with my experience, watching this video, i am confident i can use figma 40%. God bless you. Thanks for the knowledge

[Ailyloves]

I appreciate that you assume that we're complete beginners, and teach us in a simple and easy-to-understand way. I also appreciate that you go into just enough details to help us get started, emphasis on the 'get started'! you don't intimidate or overwhelm us with information. 

and when you say to practice doing stuff in Figma, but not start designing something from scratch (which would be intimidating and overwhelming! 😮‍💨for beginners), just copy and learn from other people's design first.. that's so helpful! and it's a relief. I often feel this pressure to create my own design at first, and that's tough. so just copying at first is helpful.

[ebaide]

This is awesome and quite inspiring for a fresher like me. every novice in UI/UX need to watch this. I'm almost giving up on designs until I found this video. Thank you for sharing this!

[myintthuaung]

You videos are incredibly helpful. You don't even know it. Unlike other tutorial videos where they talk for hours and hours and the audience don't get a point. You just go straight to the point and always explain in a way which works best for the beginners like myself. Thank you so much. Hope you get 1 million subscribers in no time!

[CaddyBlues]

I feel like I learned more in this 24 minutes than my 20 hours I've put into my ux design course, so thank you. The course is super repetitive and puts you to sleep. This was just non stop engaging.

[plica]

I just starting using Figma today, I was nervous that he wasn't going to start from the very start but the way he explained how to use Figma by copying an existing page was a great idea to get used to Figma. Thank you.
