Ridd here 👋 Figma Academy is an all-new program that teaches advanced product design tactics directly within Figma itself. 🎓 THE PROGRAM: It's not for beginners, and it's definitely not a collection of hacks. The learning experience focuses on strategies and mental models that make you more valuable to your product teams and help you elevate the finer details of your craft. 👤 THE CREATOR: My name is Michael Riddering! I've been designing products for the past decade and am currently the founding designer at Maven.com. I'm also super passionate about design education and have been working as a design advisor for the popular UI course, Shift Nudge for the past year+ 🔨 THE STORY: ~2 years ago I had the idea for "Learning Figma in Figma" and have been obsessed with building out a complete learning management system ever since. I like to think I built a better Teachable entirely within Figma :) In the Fall of 2021, I opened up a beta program with 500+ designers from awesome design teams like Netflix, Grubhub, Zillow, and more... Today, I am FINALLY opening enrollment for anyone! ✅ THE OFFER: To celebrate, I'm offering a huge launch discount of $200 off the course for the next 24 hours! So make sure you use the code `PH200` to sign up 👍

I’ve been working with Ridd for the past year to design and build Maven.com, and this guy knows Figma inside out. The cleanest, most organized design system, component hierarchies that map to how engineers would build things, and killer designs of course. Plus he’s a great teacher! Get the course!

I've worked with Michael at two different companies past and presently at Maven.com. Few are more organized, structured, and thoughtful and it shows in everything he does. His knowledge of design systems, thinking, and execution is modern and relevant and will make you a better designer or engineer inside Figma or any other design tool. Buy the course!
