In this workshop we will learn how to use Figma (www.figma.com), a collaborative browser-based design tool that allows users to create web and mobile applications. During the workshop, participants will design an e-commerce website prototype and learn how to use basic design tools, frames, transitions, etc. Participants will also get the chance to work in groups and discuss ways to improve their design.
