Learn how to create design systems that answer your users' needs

This course was recorded in August 2020 using Figma 116.3.6. Some functions and tools may have changed or may no longer be available. If you have a more recent version, you will be able to follow the content without any issues.

Behind every interface, there are a number of seemingly invisible details that can dictate your brand, company, or product's direction. By incorporating Design Systems' tools into your project, you can ensure that your interface works intuitively for all members of your team, regardless of the particularities of their workflow.

In this course, UX designer Javier "Simón" Cuello helps you build an interface for a website in an organized, coherent, and consistent way that satisfies your users’ and clients' real needs.
