“Prototyping in Figma has completely transformed how I approach design. It’s not just about creating static screens; it’s about crafting a smooth, interactive experience that feels real to the user. When you bring your design elements to life, you’re able to see how each piece connects, spot any weak...

Last week Monday, I had the honor of being invited by Uber to speak at one of their events with over a hundred Uber staff in attendance! Joann Wu who reached out to me sometime in October last year inviting me to speak at the event, highlighted the 3 Figma prototypes I created in the past she would want me to demo at the show and tell event. I pointed out the crucial role prototyping plays in product development. This led to an experience I had sometime in 2021 when I was approached by a client with a product idea they struggled to fully articulate. After creating a quick mockup in Figma, the client still struggled to fully grasp the concept. To bridge this gap, I developed a functional prototype that brought their vision to life. This not only enhanced their understanding but also provided the clarity they needed to showcase the product’s potential. Eventually, they used the prototype to demo their idea and successfully secure their first round of funding from an Angel investor. Prototyping turns ideas into something real—something you can see, test, and refine. It’s a design language that helps teams align, uncover insights, and bring concepts to life in a way that words alone can’t. Ever had a moment where prototyping completely changed the direction of your design? I’d love to hear your experience! Meanwhile here is another prototype made with ❤️ in Figma. #ProductDesign #Prototyping #Figma #uxdesign

Prototyping used to scare me. So I tried to escape it. I remember when I first started designing in Figma, prototyping felt like a mountain I didn’t want to climb. It was that one thing most designers quietly avoided some even said it’s not necessary 😄. I searched for shortcuts. Tried ProtoPie. Looked into Principle. Hoped one of them would save me the trouble. But they all felt disconnected. Too complex. Or just not Figma. So I made a decision: If I’m designing in Figma, I’m prototyping in Figma too. That meant doing everything, product planning, ideation, low-fi, high-fi, and interaction flows all in one tool. No more bouncing around. No more excuses. The first nut to crack? A loading effect. It took me 4 days to figure out. I searched everywhere, YouTube had nothing at the time. But I cracked it just one morning I saw myself trying it out in my dream. Woke up immediately and it was 4am, tried it and it worked. And that changed everything. Prototyping became the one language I could use to explain my designs… without explaining. Today, every prototype I create lives and breathes in Figma. Most of them can either be creative exploration or me trying to fix a broken user experience. No exports. No guesswork. Just clean, clickable experiences. It wasn’t easy. But I’m glad I stopped running from it. Because I would’ve missed out on one skill that: ✅ Earned my first £95K within 7 months while in UK. ✅ Got Uber to reach out to speak about interactive design. ✅ Worked with so many client even from Pakistan. ✅ Watched by more than 1 million people in the first 6 months I started sharing interactive designs. ✅ Prototyping landed me a 9-month contract just 3 days after getting laid off last year. ✅ Funny how the skill I once ran from helped me grow from 500 to 50,000 followers in 7 months. Prototyping gave my work a voice. #prototyping #figmaexperience #productdesign

🙌Meet Artifig: A Figma Plugin to Generate Figma Plugins Do you use Figma and ever feel like this: - Your mind is bursting with plugin ideas, but you can't bring them to life because you don't know how to code? - You want to focus on design, but repetitive tasks keep slowing you down? - You dream of creating custom tools for your team, but lack the time or resources? I’ve been there too. That’s why I created Artifig. ✨ What is Artifig? Artifig is an AI-powered Figma plugin that empowers anyone to build their own Figma plugins using just natural language. No coding needed—simply describe what you want, and watch as your idea transforms into a fully functional, real-time plugin. 🚀 Redefining Figma Plugin Development The core philosophy of Artifig is simple: Designers often have countless ideas and creative visions, but many of them remain unrealized due to a lack of technical skills.

Artifig takes you directly from "description" to "implementation." 🛠️ How Does It Work? 1. Describe Your Needs: Tell Artifig what you want, like “Create a skew transformation tool for objects, supporting horizontal and vertical skew with real-time preview functionality.” 2. Generate and Run the Plugin: Artifig instantly generates the plugin and runs it right within Figma. For example, the generated plugin can apply skew transformations to objects, precisely controlled via matrix transformations, with an intuitive user experience. 3. Optimize and Iteration: Need adjustments? Simply describe them, and Artifig will Iterating the plugin step by step. 4. Share Your Creations: Publish your plugins to the Artifig community, or remix plugins shared by others to build on their ideas. No learning curve. No complex steps.

No More Repetitive Work Let AI handle the tedious, time-consuming tasks: batch renaming layers, auto-aligning elements, or applying styles in bulk. All you need to do is say, “Import a PDF and arrange each image on the canvas with 20px spacing.” 2.
