When I first opened Figma, I was overwhelmed.

So many tools, options, and settings! I wasn’t sure where to start.

I’d heard about how amazing Figma was — how it’s the tool every designer swears by. But trying to figure it out on my own felt like learning a new language without a guide.

Sounds familiar?

Maybe you’ve been trying to start designing but feel stuck, unsure of how to get that first screen done. Or you’ve been putting it off because:

• You’re confused by Figma’s interface.
• You don’t know how to create buttons, icons, or layouts.
• You’ve never built a design prototype, let alone an app.
• You get confused about what to create and how to start when you see a blank screen in Figma.

That’s exactly why we created this 21-day Figma Challenge.

It’s the perfect way to go from zero to designing your first complete app prototype — step by step.

No fluff, no complicated jargon — just straightforward guidance to help you finally get started with Figma and grow your confidence as a designer.

Who Is This For?

This challenge is perfect if:

• You want to design apps or websites but don’t know where to start.
• You’ve never used Figma before and feel a bit lost with all the features.
• You’re trying to grow your career in UI/UX design, but every job needs Figma skills.
• You want to freelance, but client's company is using Figma, and you’re not sure how to use it yet.
• You already designed in Figma but want to get better at cool Figma features like Auto Layout, Components and Variables.
• You’re switching from Sketch or Adobe XD and need to get comfortable with Figma fast.
• You’re a UX researcher who wants to learn basic design skills to make prototypes.
• You’re an aspiring UI/UX designer ready to start your journey.
• You’re a web or graphic designer curious to dive into product design.
• You’re a developer, product manager, or freelancer interested in exploring design.

No prior experience in Figma?

No problem. This challenge is designed for absolute beginners.

Your Challenger: Rohan Mishra

Hi, I’m Rohan, and if you’re reading this, chances are you already know me.

I’ve been a Designer for as long as I can remember. But the truth is, I didn’t start out this way. My journey into design wasn’t easy- it was full of uncertainty and hard work.

Nine years ago, I was just another college student, studying in a Tier 2 engineering college. I had big dreams but absolutely no idea what UI/UX design was. I didn’t have experience, I didn’t have mentors, and I didn’t even know where to start. I felt lost.

But I didn’t give up. Slowly, I began learning and experimenting. My first design was on Photoshop-and it was far from easy. Photoshop wasn’t even made for UI/UX design! After struggling with Photoshop, I moved to Illustrator, then Adobe XD, and eventually found Sketch.

Back then, Sketch was a game-changer, but it had its challenges too. Collaboration meant sharing design. Sharing designs meant exporting .sketch files and using tools like Zeplin for handoff. If you wanted to collaborate, it was a mess.

If you wanted to build a prototype you needed to use a tool like Invision or Marvel.

Then came Figma- and everything changed.

Figma simplified everything. It let me design, collaborate, and prototype- all in one tool. It didn’t matter if my teammates were across the world; we could all work together seamlessly. No extra tools, no headaches. Today, all the major companies use Figma, and it’s become the go-to tool for UI/UX designers.

Fast-forward to now, I feel incredibly lucky to have worked with some of the most prestigious brands in the industry. I’ve designed for Zomato, Urban Company, and Happy Fresh, and I’ve had the privilege of building design teams for companies in India, Dubai, Singapore, Indonesia, and five other countries.

Over the years, I’ve realized that my biggest passion isn’t just designing—it’s teaching and sharing what I’ve learned. I’ve taught over 10,000 students, hosted 40+ workshops, and given more than 20 talks at leading companies. My content on LinkedIn has been recognized, and I’ve been named a LinkedIn Top Voice. I’ve also been invited to speak on popular podcasts and platforms like IDF, Design Jungle, and Google Developer’s Group.

One of my favorite things to do is teach at universities and colleges. I’ve had the privilege of guest lecturing at institutions like VIT, Galgotias University, and Chitkara Design School, helping students understand what it takes to succeed in design.

But here’s the thing: I know what it feels like to start with nothing. I know how overwhelming it can be when you’re just beginning or when you’re stuck and don’t know how to move forward. That’s why I’ve created this Figma Mastery: Design Your First App in 21 Days challenge.

This challenge is for everyone—whether you’re just starting out or you already have some experience but want to take your skills to the next level. I’ve packed it with everything you need to know to master Figma and overcome the struggles I faced when I started.
