What you'll learn
Figma interface literacy
Learn to navigate frames, layers, components, and prototype mode so you can follow projects and collaborate confidently.
Rapid Prototyping to Communicate Ideas Clearly
Learn how to create quick, low-fidelity prototypes to share ideas, test assumptions, and align teams.
Reduce Rework by Making Ideas Visible
Understand how to use prototypes and flows to prevent early on misinterpretations and unnecessary redesigns.
Why this topic matters
Design literacy is becoming a baseline skill for PMs and engineers. Thinking in flows and prototypes not only makes you a stronger teammate but also allows you to bridge the gap between idea, design, and implementation. This helps you and your team to move faster, reduce confusion, and avoid costly missteps.
