Michael Suen is a phenomenal UX/UI teacher. He is knowledgeable, but equally importantly, he always makes lessons compelling and easy to understand. He's kind, patient, and helpful.

The Advanced Figma course was worth every minute. The concepts matched exactly what I was looking for in an advanced course (variables, prototyping, conditionals), but the instructor also covered important tips for creating color schemes correctly as a bonus at the end. Overall, I highly recommend this class and Noble Desktop. The setup is well done, and the content is perfect for learning the material.

Charon Marden

This class was an amazing deeper dive into Figma. Breaking things down step by step and then building upon complexity was great. Having materials to take home and practice has also been very helpful! Dan was a patient and skillful teacher, 100% recommend!

Mary Clark

Dan is a wealth of knowledge and his relaxed and thoughtful lessons were a great starting point for developing your Figma skills. Great class! Miles ahead of any online tutorial video.

Ben Burghart

Dan was very easy to follow along and easy to understand when explaining complex features from Figma. Each lesson is easily understandable and explained very well. The examples used helped wrap my mind around how this could impact my work in the real world, with a real client.

I recently took the Figma Bootcamp course with Cameron, and it was a fantastic experience. Cameron's teaching style was informative and easy to follow, and I now feel confident in my ability to navigate and use the Figma program. Even though I had limited prior experience with Figma, this course has taken my design confidence to new heights. I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to improve their Figma skills. Thank you, Cameron, for a great experience!

Having some knowledge in visual design, I wasn't sure if I needed this course but decided to take the leap. It was a fantastic course than gave me more insight toward visual guidelines, ideas and strategies that I have already put into place the day after class. I recommend this class to anyone looking to gain more knowledge in this field.

The Visual Design Bootcamp class offers great tips and direction for building websites visually and accurately. I learned so much in just 3 days and felt prepared to start my own projects right away. Dan is a patient instructor and gives great advice on your project throughout the 3-day class.

I was so impressed with this class! Our teacher Ethan as incredible, and his teaching style was perfect to take in a lot of info but also keep us moving, no matter the level.

Michele R. was a great instructor. She made the class easy to follow, plenty of questions were asked and she had all the answers that made everything clear as day.

Given the fact that we had to do this entire class remotely due to Covid-19, I didn't have very high expectations it would run so smoothly. However, I don't think it could've gone any better. Not only do I feel very comfortable with the program now, I'm actually excited to use it!

Learning something new is very intimidating but Dan Rodney at Noble Desktop really took the time to clearly explain everything and I actually feel pretty comfortable with the program for just learning the basics in a day.

Class was super informative. Not only did Dan show how the program worked, but he went into the history of the software, and the many ways to go about doing things within the program. The projects were very organized, and very easy to follow. Dan didn't just read us the pdf, but instructed us in a very casual manner, and the provided material complimented the lessons he was demonstrating very nicely.

Noble Desktop is a great place to learn, and I recommend it to anyone who is looking to start or expand their design and coding careers! They prepare you for the job market and for you to be ahead of the curve in your career. I am actively applying to jobs and when I look for a product designer or UX/UI positions, everything I am learning in class is listed in job descriptions, so that is a huge advantage I will have once I start working. Five stars all around! :)
