Figma

At the fundamental awareness level, users are expected to have a basic understanding of the Figma interface and how to navigate through it. They should be able to create a new project and apply simple color changes. The use of basic shapes and lines is also expected at this level, along with a basic understanding of layers and objects.

Novice users should be comfortable creating custom shapes using the pen tool and working with text and fonts. They should be able to apply gradients and effects, use alignment and distribution tools, and understand and apply constraints. Creating and managing frames is also an expected skill at this level.

Intermediate users are expected to create complex shapes and icons, work with vector networks, and use boolean operations. They should be proficient in creating and managing components, applying layer styles and text styles, and creating interactive prototypes.

Advanced users should master auto layout features and be capable of creating responsive designs. They are expected to work with grids and layouts, create and manage design systems, collaborate and share designs, and use plugins to enhance workflow.

Expert users are expected to master advanced prototyping features, including creating animations and transitions. They should be capable of conducting usability testing within Figma, integrating Figma with other tools, optimizing design workflow, and teaching and mentoring others in Figma.
