Learn Figma Tutorial
Hello Mizko, you are just FANTASTIC. You ACTUALLY know the concepts in depth and I have not found ANY other figma tutorial which is as in depth as yours. One more thing I noticed in you is you are GENUINE. You GENUINELY want to teach us all the professional tricks. I love how obsessed you are with being SYSTEMATIC. Lotss of love and thanks brother. I will mostly join your paid course hopefully. But I will recommend you to anyone and everyone whom I think are in need to learn Figma. Keep going. Keep teaching. <3

I studied design for 4 years and nobody has thought me anything about Figma. I can now honestly say that after following each and every step in this tutorial, I'm much wiser and gained the basics that I have needed for so long. Thank you!

Learn Figma Tutorial
I really enjoyed watching this. This has taught me how to extract elements off a brand's website (in this case, Tesla) and paste them onto Figma canvas. This will be very useful in setting up a design system and when designing a product for a brand without having to wait for the brand to give the designer their brand guide or asset files. Also, I particularly like the 'auto-layout' function which makes workflow efficient and time-saving.
