Figma Fridays has been a passion project of mine for the last year and a half. Through the series, I've learned that Figma is not just a tool for UX Designers, but for everyone. The future of Figma Fridays looks bright! Our team is working towards getting Figma integrated into the classroom to redefine what it means to be a collaborative designer.
