Drawing using isometric projection is a popular way to visualize three-dimensional objects.
Affinity Designer comes with a very user-friendly set of tools for working with isometry.

In this video, we'll draw a simple object, which will be a good excuse to take a closer look at these tools, but also a good opportunity to talk about grids, working with scale and dimensions, and snapping and duplicating objects.
