Learn Figma interface: frames, layers, toolbars, shapes, text, fills, strokes, and effects.
2. Layouts & Constraints
Use Frames, Constraints, and Auto Layout to create responsive designs.
3. Reusables & Consistent Styling

4. Advanced Prototyping
Create interactive prototypes with transitions, overlays, and animations.
5. Productivity with Plugins & Integrations
Use plugins for automation and integrate with external tools.
6. Design to Code Transition
Use Dev Mode for handoff: inspect specs, download assets, view tokens.
7. New Figma Innovations (2025+)
Explore Figma Sites, Make (AI), Buzz (AI content), and Draw (advanced vectors).
8. Design Theory & UX Thinking
Study UX principles: wireframes, Gestalt, accessibility, color theory, storytelling.
