Some kind words from early customers...
I worked with a small group of early access customers to make sure all of the content in the book was exactly what they needed. Hears what they had to say about the finished product.

Antonio LittelFrontend DeveloperI run an ecommerce store selling rare vintage gummy bears and could never find a good gummy bear icon. Now I can design my own in minutes.
Cameron ConsidineEntrepreneurI couldn’t believe how fast Mira moved in Figma compared to my own workflow. I’m designing icons more accurately in half the time with the shortcuts I learned from her videos.

Cameron ConsidineEntrepreneurThe complete package is worth it for the weekly teardown videos alone. I’ve learned so much watching Mira take apart other icons and recreate them from scratch.
