Auto layout driving you crazy? Scared about what will happen with your design in the browser? Then this class is just right for you.
We will learn everything about how to set up responsive UI design with Figma. This will be a real deep dive into constraints, auto layout, and most important but rarely discussed breakpoints for your UI Design. Combining those tools will allow us to really test and document your designs and components in line with the actual code settings.
