WSQ What the Figma (wtf)

What The Figma (WTF) is a foundational hands-on course designed for individuals looking to gain practical skills in user interface (UI) design using Figma. Through guided demonstrations, real-world examples, and project-based learning, learners will explore essential UI/UX design principles, construct design systems, create wireframes, develop interactive prototypes, and prepare developer-ready design documentation. The course bridges theory with practice, enabling participants to analyse usability, iterate designs based on testing feedback, and confidently present design decisions. By the end of the course, learners will have a functional prototype, a foundational understanding of interface design, and a portfolio-ready project.
