Sara Brunettini shows how AI-powered Figma plugins can be used to streamline your workflow and make the design process a breeze. “Imagine AI assisting with repetitive tasks like naming layers, designing light/dark modes or even generating micro-copy for you. And the best part is these plugins integrate seamlessly with Figma.”

Katie Cooper shows how to use the Tokens Studio plugin to set up light and dark modes in the project.

Clara Ujiie came up with a simple workflow for visually testing components. (The same tutorial is available as a Twitter thread, if that’s your jam.)

Miggi started a YouTube channel with his design shorts, Figma tips, and tutorials. Start with his recent series on making icons in Figma.

Ridd just launched Dive with an amazing lineup of design educators. In this tutorial, he designs the new Dive website and shows how his use of components to speed up workflow in Figma, talks about visual design principles and his approach to UI design in Figma. Lastly, he shows how easy it is to go from Figma to Framer to a published website.

A long video of MDS walking through his entire design process at regular speed.

A few tricks for successfully exporting Figma mockups to Framer. In the end, it all comes down to using flexible and consistent structures in Figma that translate to code in Framer really well.

If programming shaders is a bit too much for you, check out this video on how to create an animated mesh gradient in Figma with a combination of a few plugins and built-in tools.

“Prototyping in Figma just got an update. In this livestream, Designer Advocate Ana Boyer and Product Designer Nikolas Klein will walk you through adding videos to prototypes, how to build and edit multi-flow prototypes, faster, and demonstrate how to bring others along. Community members Mirko Santangelo and Jannis Smesny will also join to demo how they use the new features.”
