Conclusion

Teaching the Figma Decal course was an incredibly rewarding experience that reinforced my passion for design education and mentorship. It was so exciting every class to see what each student would create - everything was so unique. Seeing students grow in confidence and creativity reaffirmed the importance of fostering inclusive and accessible learning environments in design.
