Figma Upskill





Overview

Figma is a popular tool for creating, sharing, and testing designs for websites, mobile apps, and other digital products and experiences. To highlight UX Design within the services ctrl QS offers, we organized a series of workshops, online training sessions, and meetings. As part of the Academy, we designed diverse learning experiences to upskill employees company-wide.
