Auto layout is driving you bananas? You’re scared about what will happen with your design in the browser? Then our deep-dive Figma Auto Layout Masterclass with Christine Vallaure is for you.

In the online workshop, you will learn everything about how to set up responsive designs with Figma. We’ll dive deep into constraints, auto layout, and, most importantly but rarely discussed, breakpoints for your UI design. Combining those tools will allow you to really test and document your designs and components in line with the actual code settings.
