Daniel Walter Scott – Figma UI UX Design Advanced (Download)
Mastering Figma’s basics gets you started, but transforming yourself into a sought-after UX/UI designer requires command of advanced techniques that professionals use daily. From building unbreakable component systems to creating polished animations and seamless developer handoffs, advanced Figma skills separate portfolio-worthy designers from those still learning the fundamentals.
About the Course and Instructor
Figma UI UX Design Advanced is taught by Daniel Walter Scott, who delivers over 9 hours of hands-on, project-based instruction. Rather than abstract exercises, you’ll work from an actual project brief with a defined persona, building a complete app ready for your portfolio by course completion.
This advanced course assumes basic Figma knowledge and takes your skills to professional standards. The curriculum emphasizes practical application, with continuous assignments and projects that reinforce each concept while building toward a polished final deliverable.
What You’ll Learn
AI-Powered Workflow Acceleration
Harness Figma’s AI capabilities including First Draft, automated interactions, auto layout suggestions, and intelligent content replacement. Learn efficiency techniques that save hours rather than minutes, allowing you to iterate faster and explore more creative directions.
Advanced Auto Layout and Responsive Design
Master nested and responsive auto layouts, constraint systems, and grid configurations that automatically adapt to any screen size or content change. Build layouts that flex intelligently without breaking, understanding when to use grids versus constraints versus auto layout for optimal results.
Variables and Design Tokens
Create light and dark modes, compact and comfortable spacing variations, and complete theming systems—all controlled by variables. Progress from basic color variables to number variables for spacing adjustments, boolean conditions, and overlay popups. Transform your understanding into creating professional design tokens for scalable design systems.
Component and Variant Mastery
Build multi-dimensional variants and learn to tame unwieldy component libraries into elegant, manageable systems. Master instance swapping, boolean component properties, form field components, and organizational strategies that keep even complex libraries accessible and maintainable.
Animation and Micro-Interactions
Craft custom easing animations, variant-based animations, and captivating effects including Houdini Text masks and spring animations. Create sticky scroll elements, horizontal swipe interactions, auto-scrolling anchor points, expanding search bars, and interactive components that bring designs to life.
Visual Effects and Media Handling
Apply liquid glass effects, progressive blur, texture and noise layering, and proper effect ordering. Master advanced image masking using AI background removal, spillover masks, and text masking. Integrate video with custom play/pause controls and hover-triggered playback.

Typography and Color Systems
Implement advanced typography features including curved text, vertical trim for precise alignment, and truncation. Develop sophisticated color systems with theme switching, color replacement workflows, and proper spacing standards for web and app design.
Accessibility and Inclusive Design
Discover essential accessibility tools and techniques ensuring your designs serve all users. Learn to evaluate and improve designs for inclusivity without compromising visual appeal or functionality.
Collaboration and Developer Handoff
Master Dev Mode for seamless developer collaboration, create comprehensive component documentation for design systems, manage version history, and use team libraries effectively. Learn refactoring techniques and proper asset exporting for production-ready deliverables.
Course Structure
The curriculum progresses strategically from workflow optimization through advanced component architecture, animation, and finally collaboration. Each section includes class projects reinforcing specific skills, with the overarching project tying everything together into a cohesive portfolio piece.
The BYOL crew provides forum support, ensuring you get answers when stuck and can progress confidently through challenging concepts.
Why This Course Stands Out
This training focuses on building professional-grade design systems that look polished and function flawlessly across real-world scenarios. You’re not just learning isolated techniques—you’re understanding how professionals structure entire projects for scalability, maintainability, and team collaboration.
The emphasis on responsive, variable-driven components reflects modern industry practices where designs must adapt across platforms, themes, and user preferences without creating duplicate work. These skills directly translate to faster workflows, more impressive portfolios, and greater value to employers or clients.
Take your Figma expertise beyond the basics and discover the advanced techniques that define professional UX/UI design work.
