We’re not just moving boxes around here - you’re actually going to build something. In this course, you’ll get your own project brief and persona, and by the end, you’ll have a complete app ready to drop straight into your portfolio.
We’ll kick things off by using AI inside Figma to move fast — the kind of efficiency that saves you hours, not minutes. Then we’ll dive deep into Auto Layout and constraints, the tools that separate amateurs from pros. You’ll learn how to make responsive pages that flex, adapt, and update automatically, no matter the screen or content.
Next, you’ll master components and variables so solid they’re almost impossible to break. We’ll add visual punch with effects, typography, and micro-animations that give your designs instant polish and impact. You’ll also learn workflow hacks to manage your assets, grids, and styles like a seasoned professional, and I’ll even show you a few hardware setups that make you faster (and make you look good while you’re at it).
Once you’ve got the basics locked in, we’ll take things further. You’ll become a variant boss, building light and dark modes, compact and comfortable layouts, all with a single click. We’ll explore advanced animation, masking, and video techniques, the kind of creative power most designers don’t even realize Figma can deliver.
You’ll also learn to prototype faster, test smarter, and make things that feel real. We’ll cover accessibility, collaboration, and developer handoff using Dev Mode, refactoring, and shared team libraries so you can work seamlessly across projects and teams.
As you journey through this course, you'll acquire the skills wielded by UX professionals, gaining a profound understanding of the UX Design industry. From concept to a highly polished finish, you'll confidently manage your own UX projects ideal for your portfolio.
Throughout the course, I'll assign assignments and projects that nurture your skills and empower you to create your very own unique UX design masterpiece for your portfolio. Don’t worry if this all seems overwhelmingly advanced right now, because the BYOL crew stands ready to support and guide you, ensuring your questions get answered.
Bottom line, you’re not just learning Figma. You’re building a complete, professional-grade design system that looks elite and works flawlessly. Let’s go.
Requirements:

Daniel Scott
Founder of Bring Your Own Laptop & Chief Instructor
instructorI discovered the world of design as an art student when I stumbled upon a lab full of green & blue iMac G3’s. My initial curiosity around using the computer to create ‘art’ developed into a full-blown passion, eventually leading me to become a digital designer and founder of Bring Your Own Laptop.
Sharing and teaching are a huge part of who I am. As a certified Adobe instructor, I've had the honor of winning multiple Adobe teaching awards at their annual MAX conference. I see Bring Your Own Laptop as the supportive community I wished for when I was first starting out and intimidated by design. Through teaching, I hope to bring others along for the ride and empower my students to bring their stories, labors of love, and art into the world.
True to my Kiwi roots, I've lived in many places, and currently, I reside in Ireland with my wife and kids.
