Build Scalable UI in Figma
Christine Vallaure
Founder moonlearning · 2× Config Speaker
Gain the clarity and structure to build UI that scales in Figma.
Most designers can make a good-looking screen in Figma. The problems start when that work needs to change, scale, or be used by someone else.
This course teaches you how to set up UI, so it actually holds up.
You’ll move from designing pretty screens to building structured, responsive UI. Working through Figma’s core features with hands-on exercises, you’ll also build a course project: a real website that evolves throughout the workshop.
Along the way, you’ll get a clear mental model of how Figma works under the hood, how it maps to front-end code, and where design intent needs to be communicated rather than encoded.
You’ll leave with practical confidence and a reusable UI blueprint you can take straight into real projects.
🧭 A proven learning structure: how it works → why it matters → design ↔ code reality → workflow & setup
✍️ Hands-on exercises that turn learning into action
📌 Weekly feature focus: essentials first, extra mile optional
🧩 One real website project that connects everything into a cohesive whole
🔀 A hybrid format: self-paced videos plus live office hours
What you’ll learn
The core skills for building scalable, real-world UI in Figma
Build a complete, responsive website in Figma with structured components, variables, and layout patterns.
Leave with a reusable UI blueprint you can bring into real projects and system work.
Learn when to use Figma’s core and advanced features and when to keep things simple.
Understand how variables, components, auto layout, and grids fit together and why they exist.
Learn to distinguish between essential feature usage and “extra mile” patterns, so you know when depth adds value
Set up layouts and components that behave consistently across sizes and states.
Create files that are calmer, easier to maintain, and adaptable to change.
Understand how Figma structure maps to front-end code and where it doesn’t.
Make clearer design decisions that reduce confusion and back-and-forth.

Projects
1-3 hrs / week
This project is designed to fit your experience and schedule. You can follow along step by step to build a clear, solid website, or go deeper and use it as a space to explore, refine, and experiment. There’s no “right” amount of time to spend. The structure is there to guide you, the depth is up to you.
Pre-recorded lessons
1-2 hrs / week
Note: Videos are short and focused, each with a practice file. You can move quickly if you’re confident, or slow down and work hands-on alongside what I’m doing on screen. Extra Mile lessons are clearly marked and optional. You don’t need them for a solid Figma structure, but they’re there if you want to go deeper.
