"This course is a must-take for anyone looking to optimize their design workflow. The knowledge it provided about using Figma as a system, and building and converting designs into more professional systems was invaluable. The course took my understanding of design systems to a new level. Would highly recommend it to anyone seeking to broaden their understanding and application of design systems.”

"A fantastic design systems course for entry-level and advanced folks alike. Dan's experience in this field fuels a lot of the learnings I made throughout the course and the content spans a lot of the touch points you will typically find when working on a design system, which I really appreciated. The combination of one on one learning, cohort groups and take away tasks gave me things I will take away for the rest of my career. Highly recommend."

“I wanted a more guided approach in learning about design systems, and was especially excited when I learned that Dan was teaching. I've applied what I learned from completing the lessons and assignments in my current design work now. Design systems have finally caught my team's attention, and I've referred to the course in almost all of our conversations around it.”
