More than 5,000 designers have trained their eye with Shift Nudge. Some doubled their income. Some stepped into design leadership. Every review is public, linked, and written by a real person you can look up.

Technology is moving fast. If you don't want to get left behind, you need to learn fast and smart. Figma 101 by Shift Nudge helps you quickly master the basics so you can move on to building other skills in your design toolkit.

I just completed the free Shift Nudge Figma course so I can make better quick designs as a product manager. So much quality content packed into this hour long course.

I learned to use Figma through trial and error, only checking the docs when I couldn't figure something out. But... I just finished the free Shift Nudge Figma course, and I have to say it's a MUST for anyone who uses Figma on a daily basis!

I'm a developer, and whenever I need to change something in Figma, I get super frustrated because things often don't work the way I expect them to. This Shift Nudge Figma course made me much more comfortable and took just one lunch break.

Shift Nudge is one of the best if not THE best course. So if you want to dive deep in Figma, MDS got you covered. Couldn't recommend more.

One of the most enjoyable lessons from Shift Nudge so far has been creating illustrations from references. Remade On Deck in Figma and it blew my mind how far you could get with simple shapes, gradients, and layer effects.

Just finished the Shift Nudge course after seeing MDS's episode on Dive Club. Gotta say it was an absolute masterclass and would recommend for any product designer looking to upskill on visual/UI design.

I've taken many courses, recently a masters in interaction design, and I've read every book, but your course is by far the most comprehensive, well explained, well structured, and most actionable resource in design I've ever taken.

Two years ago, I had this overwhelming urge to create and define something meaningful to me, not just define myself by being an employee of a larger company. I committed to the journey, completed design boot camp and Shift Nudge, and I'm still learning daily. There's beauty in the growth process.

I really appreciate that I always have access to the course and can pick it up anytime. The video critiques have been fire, in addition to my own I watch the ones you've done for others and am learning a lot.

Before I was trying to learn UI Design by myself without any guidance, but now I'm so glad I found this structured course to pave the way. I'm gaining confidence with every exercise. Thank you MDS!

I'll start with the goat, MDS. Shift Nudge is a gold mine for interface learning! Takes you from zero to hero. It doesn't just meet expectations; it shatters them. If you are thinking on where to start, this is it.

If I was in product design, I'd expense Shift Nudge as fast as possible. MDS is unreal at teaching foundational visual design as it applies to today's web/mobile.

One incredible investment worth saving up for might be Shift Nudge by MDS. Probably the best in the biz at teaching visual design.
