I can't believe this class was only 4 days. I learned so much from the simple beginner stuff to advanced UI/UX information. This class is perfect for someone looking to bone up on Figma.

I'm so happy I took this course! As someone with limited experience in Figma, learning these skills has completely shifted my perspective on the tool. I not only have a better understanding of the product building process, but feel like I can keep up and contribute to the conversation much better now. I'd been sitting on brushing up on my Figma skills for over a year, and in one week I knocked it out while learning more than I thought I needed. My advice to anyone considering learning the skills, is to take this course now, don't wait like I did. Erin makes learning Figma extremely comfortable, easy, and really took the time to answer each and every one of our questions. Her office hour session helped a lot and the Figma library is already coming in clutch in my regular work. Highly recommend this course to anyone looking to learn some skills.

Erin’s 4-day Figma crash course was amazing! She's incredibly thoughtful and insightful, and the course itself was very well designed. Even though we covered a lot in just 4 days (from fundamentals to more advanced techniques), the pacing of the course made it easy to follow and was never overwhelming. From the onboarding process on Maven to her slides, demos, and homework, I felt like everything was just so well structured. I also appreciated being able to watch real-time demos of techniques and then practice them immediately during the class. As someone who had used Figma before but never fully understood concepts like components and auto layout, I found it incredibly valuable. I think the course is super valuable for beginners and long-time users alike. Erin was always attentive when anyone needed help and shared useful insights about industry trends and new tools. I also loved that the homework built up to a mini final project where we could apply everything we learned. So glad I took this class and I can't wait for more!

I've always had a hard time talking about myself and answering interview questions confidently until taking this course. Erin has taught me so much about strategic interviewing, what interviewers are actually looking for, how to use my experiences/stories to show my thought process and emotional intelligence, how to master different storytelling techniques, when to use these techniques, and most importantly, how to be myself during professional interviews. Interviewing has always been a nerve wracking experience for me, but this course has really changed my interviewing process and I'm so happy I took the step forward to take it! I've never felt so confident and prepared walking into interviews before and highly recommend anyone who is facing the same challenges as me to sign up for this course. Thanks again Erin!!
