This month:
Main Program: Get Started with Auto Layout: A Figma Workshop for Everyone
Led by Clyde Forland III
Description:
This collaborative workshop session is built for designers ready to level up their confidence with Figma’s Auto Layout—no advanced experience required. We’ll start with the basics and move into real applications, showing how layout principles map directly into your design files.
Along the way, you’ll learn to cut down friction with development teams, streamline your workflow, and prepare your files for real-world delivery. You’ll walk away with hands-on practice, a reusable foundation for design systems.
What You’ll Gain:
Learn to think in layout systems instead of fixed positioning
Use Figma the way developers structure UI for scalable results
Pick up technical fluency in CSS basics and handoff practices
Leave with self-built components you can reuse
Strengthen your portfolio with a redesign challenge
What’s Included
45+ minutes of guided, hands-on work
Starter Figma file with specs
Real-world design prompt from a Dallas business
Handoff checklist plus CSS quick-reference sheet
Optional chance to keep collaborating after the event
Reminder: Laptop, Chargers, and an open mind!
