AI Summary

Hello Everyone! For the past 12 years I have only taught Adobe to students. When Adobe XD sunsetted, I transitioned to Figma last year. With David's help I was able to use Figma for the App Design project. This year I'm kicking off the school year with Figma as I have a wide range of student abilities and Figma is much more accessible. We're using Figma as a platform for Design Basics and Logo Design. Soon we will transition to Photoshop, and I'm curious how others have successfully done this (Figma to Adobe). Thank you!
