#Sketch #Prototyping #Workshop #NYC
Hello everyone and happy new year!
I am very excited for what the new year will bring us! So much happened in 2017 in the UX/UI Design and Prototyping space! Here are some of the things you should check out in case you missed them. A big one for me was the evolution of symbols in Sketch and design systems as well as collaboration among team members, and easier handoffs and if you work with React, lots of exciting things there too. The last 6 months of 2017 I was pretty busy with a job out of town so I could not organize as many events but I am planning to start the year strong and we'll have events in NYC around: – " Why it's good to prototype early and often" an event on the (crowded) prototyping space and . Good if you are new to the group/space. This an updated presentation I based on – Timeline by Anima App (just released!) – Fuse Tool's improved UI– Framer Studio– InVision Studio – Figma 2.0
Other big announcement was AdobeXD for Windows
Tons of products now have "Studio" in their name as they all rush to become the all-in-one tool to designers. 🚀 Sketch Workshops in January: – Basic if you are starting now – Advanced if you want to learn more advanced workflows or techniques. Depending on availability, I organize custom workshop for teams. What would you like to learn or improve in 2018?
Ciao, Francesco

Hello everyone and happy new year!
I am very excited for what the new year will bring us! So much happened in 2017 in the UX/UI Design and Prototyping space! A big one for me was the evolution of symbols in Sketch and design systems as well as collaboration among team members (❤️ Abstract!), and easier handoffs and if you work with React, lots of exciting things there too. I'll be running a few Sketch Workshops in January: – Basic if you are starting now – Advanced if you want to learn more advanced workflows or techniques. Depending on availability, I organize custom workshop for teams. What would you like to learn or improve in 2018?
Ciao, Francesco
