Figma Design Systems Bootcamp
Learn how to build scalable design systems in Figma with tokens, components, and libraries.
Design systems are essential for creating consistency and efficiency across modern digital products. In this 4-week bootcamp, you’ll learn how to build and maintain scalable design systems inside Figma. From defining tokens to creating reusable components and publishing libraries, this course gives you the tools to streamline workflows for yourself, your team, and your developers.
Each week, you’ll dive deeper into systematizing design: starting with foundations like color, typography, and spacing, then expanding into components, tokens, and variables. You’ll also learn governance practices — how to maintain your system over time, manage contributions, and ensure your system grows without losing clarity.
With a small group of only 3–4 people, you’ll receive direct support and feedback on your projects. By the end of the bootcamp, you’ll have hands-on experience building a mini design system in Figma, along with best practices you can apply immediately to your professional work.
