I encourage you to check out this post to hear other designers’ opinions.

Learning to code will help you become better at design. Armed with a better understanding of how things work, you will find the communication with developers much more efficient. Your design ideas would be more convincing and more respected. You can even design with code.

New skills you learn will open new doors. Trust me, it will be a new world of creativity!

If you are familiar with design tools such as Sketch or Figma, know HTML and CSS, tried to copy and paste JS code, you are good to go! You will do some coding in the course but prior experience in programming isn't required.

My point is that, before you can do something useful as a designer, you don't really need to understand a whole lot about React and even JS. You could learn coding concepts little by little WHILE doing useful design work, especially when building prototypes. Framer X seems to be a perfect tool for that. Do you agree?

Also, it's a good idea to sign up this 6-week free email course that I've prepared for you. It'd be useful to learn JS basics along the way (and also helps if you get bored of hearing my perfect Canadian accent all the time 😝).
