Want to switch to Figma from Sketch (or another design software)? Need a friend to walk you through it and show you around? I've got your back!

In this 101 tutorial I'll show you the basics of Figma: How it works, how to use it, and some tips and tricks to get the most out of it while you're getting started. Figma is my design software of choice now and switching to it has been wonderful for my workflow! I hope it will be for yours too.
