About This Workshop

Now that we’ve got a wireframe, let’s make it interactive by turning it into a clickable prototype in Figma. This is where UI and UX come together.

This free, 2-hour workshop gives you hands-on practice creating a clickable prototype from a wireframe in Figma. You’ll learn about the basics of prototyping and why it’s crucial to the UX design process and get a crash-course in MVPs (Minimum Viable Products). Then, get to work in Figma – using frames, overlays, screen delay, and horizontal scrolling – to turn your wireframes into clickable prototypes.

You’ll leave this workshop with the confidence to continue exploring the world of ux design, and a solid start to your UX Design portfolio. If you still have questions about what a bootcamp or a career in UX Design look like, make sure to join us next week for a live Meet-the-Team session where we’ll cover the basics and answer all of your UX design questions.

Takeaways

You’ll leave this workshop knowing:

  • What prototyping is, why it’s crucial to UX Design, and when to use it
  • The what, when, why, and how of MVPs (Minimum Viable Products)
  • Hands-on practice with Figma fundamentals like connecting frames, overlays, screen delay, and horizontal scrolling to create a clickable prototype

Preparation
