Figma can complicate the design process if designers rush into it without clear thinking and strategy. By adopting a structured approach that prioritizes problem definition, user research, and business requirements before design, the author significantly improved their productivity and output while teaching these methods to their students.

Figma Make represents a significant evolution in UX/UI design, enabling designers to seamlessly integrate AI-driven front-end coding into their existing workflows. Launched in May 2025, it allows designers to create functional prototypes directly from design files, streamlining the design-to-development handoff and enhancing the overall product design process. This innovation empowers designers to generate ideas, iterate quickly, and test real user interactions without relying heavily on developers.
