There’s a moment when Figma really clicks.

When components start behaving the way you expect. When auto layout stops feeling unpredictable. When your files start to feel clean, structured, and scalable.

Most designers don’t reach that moment on purpose. It usually happens slowly over time.

This course is designed to help you get there intentionally, and much sooner.

We’ll dig into the fundamentals, look at how systems are actually built, and develop the kind of understanding that makes working in Figma feel exciting again.

Seeing that moment happen for designers is one of my favorite things about teaching.

What others are saying about Level Up with Figma

What others are saying about Level Up with Figma

This course is the manual that should have shipped with the app. I don't say that lightly. I say it as someone with twenty years in the design-to-engineering space who has read the docs, watched the YouTube videos, and still walked away with gaps. Joey fills the gaps.

Joe

Sr. Design Engineer, NBC Peacock

Joey has designed and executed a course that resonates with designers at every stage. By balancing fundamentals with advanced tips and tricks, he helps us build genuine confidence in the tool.

Dilara

Dir. of Design, VISA

I especially loved gaining a deeper understanding of Figma’s nuances, capabilities, and time-saving shortcuts, which have already helped me cut down a ton of time in my day-to-day work.

Tragik

Sr. Creative Lead

Superb overview of Figma for all levels, including managers/leaders who want to get into the details of the features their teams can maximize.

Khoi Vinh

Sr. Dir. of Product Design

I’d highly recommend his course to anyone thinking about learning Figma. I had zero prior knowledge of Figma, and in just 4 weeks I landed a Figma design gig and felt confident accepting it because I knew I had Joey in my corner.

Luka

Designer, Sitekik

I found Joey's of explaining concepts and then building on those was so easy to follow and understand. I think I had "AH-HA" moments with every course video.

Beth

Designer, BBC Studios

A wonderful class for both beginners and people who are already familiar with Figma. All of the videos were super clear and informative

Jana

Brand Designer, EarnIn

Joey makes it look easy, but part of that is the thoughtful way the skills are all built on each other.

Eleanor

Sr. Designer, Atlassian

I’ve taken a few Figma courses before, but none have been this helpful. The videos and explanations made a huge difference. I feel much more confident in my design skills and excited to navigate some of the more complex workflows in Figma.

Chelsea

Designer, BeyondTrust

Joey is an excellent instructor! He knows Figma inside and out and is gifted at teaching it at a pace that's easy to understand.

Elizabeth

Sr. Content Designer, Intuit

This class was a game-changer for me. As a self-taught designer who has been using Figma for years, I thought I knew the tool inside and out—but Joey's course proved there was so much more to learn.

Kelli

Sr. Designer, Eyeo

As someone who has used Figma for a while I thought this would be a good refresher. This was so much more than that, it taught me so much and up-leveled my knowledge way beyond what I expected.

Mike

Dir. of UX Design, Workiva

I went in thinking I already knew most of it, but he opened the door to so many practical, fascinating tools that have genuinely improved my workflow.

Emily

Designer, GuideWell

Joey included a few sessions on some of the newer AI tools like Figma Make and using an MCP server to connect to other AI tools like Cursor to further iterate with your designs. Loved this course!

Ryan

Sr. Designer, HubSpot

I can definitely say I'm a lot more confident at approaching my projects with Figma. From the very first lesson to the last there were a lot of 'aha' moments that I've already been able to apply to my work.

Giselle

Designer, myHSA

I really enjoyed Level Up with Figma. It strengthened my skills in auto layout, variables, and other efficient workflows. The lessons went beyond surface-level tutorials, helping me think more systematically about components, tokens, and responsive layouts.

Em

Designer, DaVita

Joey was FANTASTIC at explaining concepts in a way that was digestible and easy to remember! I learned about so many things that I was unaware even existed in Figma

Catherine

UX Designer, Workiva

Joey does an excellent job of breaking down all the fundamentals in Figma! Whether you're brand new to Figma or have worked in Figma for a while now, there's something new to learn.
