Use auto layout to set up and manage flow direction, alignment, and padding. Make layouts that adapt to their contents and containers by using intrinsic widths and heights.
Fundamentals of Reusable Components
Establish icon systems for better integration across your component library. Build robust components for UI elements like buttons and tags with straightforward properties for easy reuse.
Building Complex and Versatile Components
Continue to build on your knowledge of components and expand your library into a more comprehensive and robust system. Explore the pros and cons of various approaches to building components like tables and data grids.
Creating Design Tokens with Variables
Build color palettes that differentiate between base color values, semantic colors, and component-specific colors. Establish flexible and expressive systems for typographic styles to use throughout your designs, across platforms and channels.

What Advanced Figma Students Say
“I wish I could've known everything I'm learning now 2 to 3 years ago. This is fantastic. No more YouTube videos that confuse me more than helping.”
–Laura Mendez, Product Designer, Liberty Mutual
“I definitely recommend taking Advanced Figma. Being part of weekly live sessions made learning enjoyable and kept me motivated. My mentor, Evan, was incredibly encouraging along the way and helped answer all my questions. I'm really excited to bring what I've learned back to my team to help supercharge our workflow!”
–Mell Picco, Senior UX/UI Designer, Exelon
“I prefer to learn in a structured environment that meets regularly to hold myself accountable and is available for support. I probably wouldn't have learned all this on my own so efficiently just through trial and error.”
–Ashley Newcomer, Senior UX Designer, Aledade

"Our team is moving templates from XD to Figma and I am going to be the one creating them. Before the course I thought I would do it one way but during it I realized I could better prepare the files and design system. The team I am on will now be able to create content faster and more efficiently.”
