Exploring the Benefits of Using Variables in Figma Prototyping

This Deep Dive is a special one because we get to hear from Niko Klein and Garrett Miller from the prototyping team at Figma.

We get a behind-the-scenes look at everything that led up to the advanced prototyping release at Config 2023 as well as:

• How Niko collaborates with engineering
• The prototyping feature they didn’t think they would release
• How they balanced power and simplicity while designing the expression builder
• Traits of a prototyping culture
• Strategies for prototype fidelity
• The future of prototyping in Figma
