"Prototyping in Figma has completely transformed how I approach design. Its not just about creating static screens; its about crafting a smooth interactive experience that feels real to the user. When you bring your design elements to life youre able to see how each piece connects spot any weak areas and get feedback early on. One tip Start simple. Focus on key interactions before diving into details. This lets you test the overall flow and make adjustments as needed without getting bogged down.

"UX audits are one of the easiest ways to attract clients if you use them right. I use them as proof of how I think. I audit real products people already use (avoid popular apps) break down what is not working explain why it matters and show what I would fix. The main koko is tying UX issues to outcomes conversion retention drop-offs revenue. User trustpilot bad reviews of that product as user feedback. Founders dont care about pixels they care about results. Then I will start sharing audits publicly in small pieces: one insight one screen one takeaway. Over time people start associating me"

"Hotkeys are great. Speed is great. But hiding the UI to test real skill might be testing the wrong thing. Lets be honest. Just understand that Design is not a Figma Olympics. You can memorize every shortcut in Figma and still ship a bad experience. And you can occasionally click through panels and still design something that solves a real user problem. Tool fluency can never equate to design thinking. Great designers I have seen think about user intent business constraints edge cases accessibility system scalability I bet thats what companies are looking for. None of those depend on whether I"

"One of the biggest hurdles you wouldve to consistently cross as a UX designer is aligning stakeholder expectations with what users actually need. Case study: There are moments where the product owner or a top executive insists on a feature or layout based on personal preference not on data. You know the type: 👉Make the button bigger. 👉Theres too much white space. Meanwhile youre the designer youve done your research. Youve talked to users. Youve mapped out pain points. And yet the insights get sidelined. Its tough sometimes. Everyone wants the product to succeed just from different angles."

"Ive worked with some designers two in particular who are at some of the biggest companies in the world. Trust me theres nothing magical about what they do that you cant do too. A lot of us come online and throw around big design terms like user-focused this and user-centered that. But the truth is in real work environments its not always that deep. Many of these top designers rely heavily on tools like ChatGPT to solve problems brainstorm ideas and even reply to emails. So if youre still grinding dont be discouraged. Keep learning keep growing. One day just one day youll clock in at your"

"Use this Figma plugin to save loads of time In setting up your component library. Keep this in mind while at it. Skipping a naming convention 😔 A messy component structure slows down your workflow and trust me it can confuse anyone. 🛠 Fix it Use a clear scalable naming system (e.g. Button/Primary Modal/Header). Stick to it Not using variants & auto layout 😔 Creating separate components for each state clutters your library and makes updates one hell of a hard nut to crack. 🛠 Fix it Use variants for states (e.g. Default Hover Disabled) and auto layout for responsive design.

"Worked on a group saving app a while back. One of the core features was setting up a savings group but a lot of users were dropping off before completing it. I checked Hotjar recordings and noticed many users got stuck on the group creation form because it looked overwhelming. So I simplified the flow: broke it into smaller steps added progress indicators and used friendlier microcopy. The result A 45% increase in completed group setups within two weeks. Sometimes the best UX decision is knowing when to step back and simplify. Watching how users interact tells you more than any survey ever"

"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 didnt want to climb. It was that one thing most designers quietly avoided some even said its 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 Im designing in Figma Im prototyping in Figma too.
