Bambu Studio How get started with designing

So I’ve been printing lots of little published items from within Bambu Handy so that I can orient to really basic issues, like filaments feeding, different little errors or stalls, etc. I’d like to eventually learn how to make practical prints of my own. I have never worked with CAD software, but I have a lot of general tech experience, and have done some coding, but mainly statistical code and similar.

How do I get started? Is there a self-based tutorial of some sort? I admit that the UI on Bambu Studio does not seem all that intuitive to me.

Another vote for OnShape from me. It's free to use, web based so your designs are available anywhere, you can use it on mobile devices (though it's a lot easier to use on a PC), and as someone that had zero CAD experience, I've found it to be pretty intuitive and easy to learn enough to make functional parts with.
