Hello, I’m a software engineer from Pakistan. Since many days I was thinking to learn about figma, your single tutorial is enough for me from basics to advanced. You teach it very well and amazingly easy. Thanks ❤️❤️
This was 100% worth watching all the way through, I have been watching other videos / tutorials and kept getting lost and usually staring at my own blank frame wondering what or how to get started you covered everything EXTREMELY well. One thing I will add is I hope to learn more about the "libraries" options and even "how to centralize components and styles" as it may get messy or confusing for example on a large project, if not maintained / organized in a centralized place. Maintaining and organization has been 90% of my current struggle with design, knowing what needs to be consistently applied globally and where and how to update those easily. Most of my projects have started out as a single-use component with custom styling then expanded to repeated usage and styling. That could have all been avoided if planned early on but its now too messy and too large to easily fix without massive refactoring since I did not plan ahead the layout and design before actually creating the project in code. Now I have started templating more of my repeating components and styles and even pages which has INSANELY simplified the process. Overall thank you for the high quality and very well edited and explained course. This is invaluable to anyone new to figma like myself and an amazing starting point for getting comfortable, although it was a basic layout/design of an app and not something more expansive like a website design I think that would have just made it more complicating to actually understanding the fundamentals needed for that next step. **(I will comeback and update just leave a reply if you're curious to remind me after learning more)** I hope this overview is not missing any important or key info that is crucial to beginners like: "How to layout and design scrollable content" as that seems uncovered and not explained at all. "Dev Mode" (Code toggle "" top right seemed interesting but uncovered), I realized it's paywalled. Not a problem for my intentions, as this is mainly just for reference / planning. Not for development it seems the dev mode is not mature enough *yet* to take a **whole figma project** and create code like React JSX with Styling consistently, without requiring heavily refactoring most of the code by hand as I have been but it's looking like it may be viable in the near future. I am curious how AI like Claude being so good at understanding images and coding might be very helpful when doing things like creating components from the exported PNG images as I have had quite amazing results in other instances so that will be very cool to test and experiment with possibly removing some of the mundane code that is required for components and templates **Personal disclaimer / info below for anyone who is interested / thinks I should just do it myself without AI (Feel free to ignore past this if you don't care)** I personally understand how to code in many languages including JS/TS/JSX and create and style components, it would just be a nice way to quickly get some foundational boilerplate out of the way and save time on mundane repetitive tasks and experiment with capabilities. - I DO NOT recommend this approach to others, especially if you do not understand how to write components. At minimum you should understand what the code does fully, unless purely for learning. - It's not perfect and does require knowing what the code is actually doing and usually how to prompt properly to get the correct output. If you don't you will most likely waste more time debugging and fixing issues this way, than if you just learned and coded it yourself as you will end up with something you can't understand. - At the same time this IS a great way to learn, by trial and error in a **safe dev environment** using AI as your teacher getting first hand experience by testing and getting personalized explanations compared to reading docs that are very generalized and not easy to understand. - Needless to say it's very dangerous in production to do this, you should be able to explain the code you are using including everything it does before deploying it publicly or you may end up with problems if you review the code and question anything its best to check docs and also ask AI about it and get informed fully and double check it. Think of this as if a expert was asking you why you have this code is the best way to think of it.
I watched your microsoft access video but am too lazy to get back to it, so I am commenting here instead. I just want to say Thank you. I have been on the internet for a while and every tutorial I find is long, complicated and frustrating. I have seen a couple of your videos now and honestly these tutorials are incredible, it's like somebody has read my mind for how tutorials should be, I am annoyed I am only finding you now. Thank you so much!!
This is exactly what I was looking for in trying to learn Figma to design an app. After I watched it I went back to add this comment and was confused. I thought the tutorial was 20 mins. That's how good it is! It felt much shorter than it really was but gave all info needed!
I've looked at a few demo videos about Figma, and this is by far the best one I've found. Thank you so much for your clarity and simplicity as you give this tutorial.
What a great tutorial video! I just started a new job which requires me to use Figma most of the time. I didn't have any experience with the software before. This video really helps a lot. Thanks so much!
Excellent job with this. I have viewed a bunch of different training videos on Figma, and by far you do the best job. I am just looking for more from you on Figma. I don't see more in the play list or on a search. I really want to learn more than just the basics.
Bro your contents are the best. It takes forever to cover topics in a semester but here, it took me only less than an hour to grasped your contents. RUclips university the best!!
Omg! I am from the Philippines and been watching your videos! This is super helpful! No need for me to enroll to an online course for figma, you explained everything very well!!! Thank You!
This is an incredible crash course. It does get you ready to start using figma from the first click. With enough hours of research and this video as basis you can really start making complex designs. Thank you for your effort Kevin!
I think figma is an incredible resource if you learn to use it wisely. Your video provided me so much insight. For a complex interface like this, you broke it down nicely. Keep up the good work.
I rarely left comments, but this tutorial was absolutely brilliant. It would have saved me hours on my wireframing assignments if I would watch it before XD. Thanks a lot Kevin!
Love your teaching, many thanks. My suggestion: know many videos are for beginners, but I think it is about time for you to create some more in depth, intermediate and higher tutorials. Of course, your usual style - concise, engaging and down to earth. Thanks a lot!!!
Wow, that was so comprehensive and helpful. I needed to have a basic understanding of FIGMA and this was certainly the best video that I could have watched. Thank you!
Kevin..I didn't know you until an hour ago hahha... I'm just another beginner joining here... and I'm so happy bz I understood almost 97% of this tutorial , the speed, the way how u explained was amazin for me, and also improving my English (listening) as well... I tried each thing you did in the tuto and learnt A LOT !!! Best regards !!
Also, just curious, in your thumbnail A/B testing, which one performed better for you? The one with the yellow background, or the one with the white background?
This was the perfect tutorial for me! The only thing that really slowed me down was navigating around Figma since my layout was different from yours. Im pretty sure there's a way to move certain thing around in figma and of course learning the shortcuts over time. But overall, this tutorial was 10/10. Thanks!
thanks for the tutorial, it was a really good walk through. only issue I had was getting the auto layout set up properly, but the issue I had was the button scaling when you re-type the words in, it scales with the text. It did not. I could not find a fix online for it, so ill look into it later. Its not a big deal, more of a preference to have it work, and after watching that part over and over, and trying a method of fill instead of creating a rectangle and linking it to the text, both ways did not work. Either way, this was super helpful and gave me a lot more confidence to learn more about figma in general, so thank you. here is a like and a subscribe!
yes that happened to me too. ive had to use the text by itself and made it a frame. then filled in the background and curve the edges so it looks like a button and then pressed auto layout .
i kinda had the same problem, I have a different (new) version of Figma I guess.. anyway I found out how to do it: select the Frame and in the Auto layout width & height select the "hug contents" in the dropdown options.. hope it helps!
The tutorial is very good but some of the explanations are not matching the current version of the elements in Figma. Something else, it was helpful for new students if you could share your the images u used it this tutorial. Thank you Kevin 🙂
Thank you very much for this tutorial! However, if I create "scroll to action" to Rectangle 1 on Home button it doesn't work on Locations and Cart. Maybe someone had the same issue? I had to change it manually to "navigate to" on Locations and Cart.
Thanks for this awesome tutorial. It covers a lot and I like that you keep saying all your actions including shortcuts, makes it so much easier to remember.
I can tell that you are not a designer from the KCC example app 😀 But you are an amazing tutor! I get a lot of understanding about how to use Figma from this video compared to other Figma tutorials that I've seen before. Keep up the good work! 😊
This was really good...Thank you so much. i am a beginner and I needed something that showed the most current version of Figma and how to use the features.
Thank you for the training video. All has gone well until timestamp 1:07:23. I can create Prototype Interactions from the Location button to the Locations frame. Similarly, I can create an Interaction between the Cart button and the Cart frame. However, I'm unable to create an Interaction between the Home button and the Home screen frame. The Navigation pull down in the Interaction dialog box has Home screen greyed out and below a line. I've tried several online resources but have been unable to address this issue. Do you have any recommendations?
Hi Kevin, i have a question about the Google Sheet, I have a dropbox with Monday to Sunday, next to that i have a ''Label'' with the name ''Hours'' and next to that i have a ''Formula'' cell where i should see the Hours, Monday is 1 hour, Tuesday 2 hours and that up to Sunday 7 Hours, so when i click in the dropbox on Monday i want to see 1 hour in the ''Formula'' cell next to the Label ''Hours'', if i click on Tuesday 1 want to see ''2 Hours'', what video do i need to look at to learn how ?
Amazing tutorial. Thank you for taking the time to make quality content for others to learn. I am very glad I found your channel. Keep up the good work. 👏👏
I've used your tutorial for notion. Im currently using your tutorial for photohop. And now that Im checking figma this vid pops out😅 Thankyou so much! But how come you are so good at everything????

Excellent delivery of knowledge - not a second was a waste. Thank you!
As always, Kevin did a fab job of simplifying the tool usage. I highly recommend it as the first place to begin if you are new to Figma.
What a great tutorial video! I just started a new job which requires me to use Figma most of the time. I didn't have any experience with the software before. This video really helps a lot. Thanks so much!

Thank you a lot for sharing this! Have a good day!
From Kenya love what you are doing
please make another video like this like a part 2 or diving more into figma 😭 this video was too good . huge thank youuu
Thank you, thank you! You're an excellent teacher. One of the best Figma tutorials I've seen
Definitely a great beginner tutorial for those who wants to get some comprehensive insight on how figma works.

I have tried 3 figma tutorials, and yours is the best and easy to use. Thank you!
Awesome tutorial! It's basic but very comprehensive. Great work!
Amazing, that was quite helpful now I know the Figma too. Thanks to you man
This is very helpful and clear, thanks for your great explanation.
Perfect video that contains all the necessary things to know in Figma! Helped me ALOT. Thanks a bunch.
Also, just curious, in your thumbnail A/B testing, which one performed better for you? The one with the yellow background, or the one with the white background?
Thanks for this tutorial. I am confident in figma now. Except few UI changes, this content is top notch and easy to understand as well as follow.
This was the best lesson I’ve ever had, wish I could show you what I made with you, thank you so much ❤

Exactly what I thought, anyway it's great content
I subbed in the first 60 sec. in appreciation for how slowly and clearly you were speaking!❣
Kevin this is the great video about the figma basics thanks a lot you explained all necessary things without wasting a time and with no lag.
