Thank's Dan! This is so helpful. I am trying to get in to UX/UI Design and your tutorial is beginner friendly and not intimidating at all.

Hey, I've been practising just for two days and I want to thank you for this video - I've had LOTS of fun recreating the app, enjoyed it immensely.

[@Aeybd]

Its my 2nd day today. How is your progress going.

[@Senad023]

I followed along the entire video and got a solid basic understanding of how Figma works. Looking forward to enrolling in your comprehensive Figma Essentials course. Thank you!

[@vealchop2490]

I took the long course about 6 weeks ago, it was great. I didn't think i'd be looking for a job this long (its grim out there) and I'm using this as my refresher course, thanks Dan!

Where in the world are you based?

[@BringYourOwnLaptop]

The market is tricky at the moment. Everyone is holding back waiting to see what happens.

[@vealchop2490]

@@BringYourOwnLaptop I'm in nyc. Was a sketch guy for 6-7 years and now that I'm back in the market after a decade everyone seems to have migrated to Figma so its time to catch up. I can understand why though its a great tool with its built in collaboration, sharing and prototyping.

[@oldgenx]

Big thanks, Dan! I got so much out of that and am definitely signing up for your larger figma course.

This is really helpful. I had a skill learning rush and i have to learn figma in a night. Thanks a lot. You are really really awesome.!!!!

This step-by-step tutorial is easy to understand because you explained everything so well.

Finally, I have completed this video, I just want to say that explanation was too clear as well as too enjoyable, I really liked the way you teach, it is extremely amazing. Thank you for this content.

[@kylegaither7639]

Thank you Dan! As a software engineer, this channel is a vital resource for learning how to properly communicate with a design team. Also, the design tools you teach are way more fun to use than I ever expected.

Hello Dan. It's my 1st time watching your video and I'm so excited to subscribe your channel. I wish all other tutorial videos can be as much as detailed/lively as yours. Thank you very much

[@sera5817]

Hey Dan, thanks for these videos. There are fun & easy to listen too. You have a great voice and you're engaging.

[@OctaveIndustries]

Your work space is so nicely kept. I can tell this is going to be a great video based on that fact alone.

[@ralitsadimova9623]

Hey Dan, I truly appreciate your courses and all the effort you put in. I finished a couple of them so far. For the sake of UX, I would like to give you feedback as a user of the cheat sheets you created for people like myself. I use a Mac and I have no intention of using a PC, therefore a cheat sheet with both options for Mac and PC is overwhelming for me, and these shortcuts are not even different coloured or any visual signs to differentiate them. So I would suggest separating them, one sheet for Mac users and another for PC users. Please let me know what you think, even if you don't agree I would like to know why :))) Regards, Rali

[@RocknRollCEO]

Great video. Can someone tell me how to separate the components of the burger menu, I can't do it properly.

[@arash_vaziri]

I just wonder why any one with access to Apple computer should learn a knock off like Figma, while there is Sketch. The UX of Sketch is absolutely stunning, and you do not understand it until you force to work with some thing like Figma ?! . Anyway, I really like this short course, and it teaches me a lot, in relatively short period of time. Thank you !

[@maef6796]

Hey Dan, new to Figma but glad a lot of it (so far) is similar to Illustrator so I don't feel (yet) lost. Really enjoying this, great tuition and cracks me up at times (esp. your sound effects ). How quickly can you get very good knowledge? I'm applying for a job that requires it..... I said I could use it not to blow my chances but 😏

[@BringYourOwnLaptop]

Hey. Using it is easy enough. Especially if you've got illustrator experience. The hard part is the UX theory. But, like anything, you've got to start somewhere and a lot of general design principles cross over into UI design. Jump in, learn the software and get making stuff.

[@tatendamapisire1597]

Your unwavering design knowledge is greatly appreciated! God bless you, Dan.

[@ekulenwaiku4654]

I gained a great deal from this video. Brilliant!!!

[@seehamyousaf5945]

Very well explained. After designing on figma, will the developer only do the coding or recreat everything on some developing software 😢

[@Chosenfriends]

I cannot tell you how amazing and helpful this was!!

[@BrianCMullen]

Hey Dan, I completed your Adobe XD UI UX Essentials course. Should I do Figma UI UX basics / essentials, or should I go onto your advanced UX UI course? Thanks!

[@giorgichikadze1993]

Amazing teacher 👏

[@wisemonkeys8941]

You say that you use Figma and XD 'interchangeable', why is that, does each software have different features? I use XD but I'm always getting told that figma is so much better. What is your opinion on this subject and which one do you prefer? I do find that Figma works better with components, but I'm just starting to tip my toe into the figma world.

Hello Daniel, The way you teach is just amazing and am very glad that I found your channel. I have a question buddy, I have absolute zero skills in drawing but am very interested to be in UI/UX, is it possible for me to survive without the knowledge of being able to draw

[@nafay142]

Super glad I found this! Thanks Dan!

[@stevencsmith7644]

Hey Daniel! How up to date is your Figma course on Udemy? I want to do that one since it’s more detailed and offers a certificate at completion, but I’m concerned about features since I’m sure Figma, as well as all developers, constantly update their apps.

[@adyblogs]

watching your videos and courses are so enjoyable . Thank youu 🤘😎😍🤍

[@SpaceSpuddd]

I was really apprehensive about UI/UX as a complete beginner as I struggle to follow stuff like this. Everything being so straight forward helped a ton! Thank you for the confidence boost! I look forward to the more advanced videos now.

[@MooChimp]

Hi Dan, I was about to jump into the Udemy course again, the first of the two premier pro courses, however for some reason i can no longer open or use any of the mp3/4 content anymore. It suggests it may be corrupted or unsupported... but its all mp4/3 , which opens fine on my pc other than the course content now. I've deleted it all and redownloaded it again, but its still not working. Do you have any idea what's going on? I really want to continue...

[@thecombatceo]

I tried to use a design kit called untitledUi free version but doesn't work with the free version of Figma? Am I right in saying you need to pay for Figma pro to access design kits?

[@DigitalDavinaOnline]

[@drpepa09]

Dan ,are DaVinci Resolve & Blender ever going to be on your radar for courses? 🤔 just curious if you have dabbled or have used these??

[@BringYourOwnLaptop]

Dabbled, but I'm not good enough to tackle a course. Might put my head down with both of these and see if I have enough experience to tackle an essentials course.
