Build Scalable UI in Figma — Designers Ready for Agentic AI
Christine Vallaure
Founder moonlearning · 2× Config Speaker
The design skills that make you agent-ready
4-week hybrid course
AI agents are reshaping how products get built. Designers who get this will have more creative control than ever. Designers who don't will find themselves further from the decisions that matter.
Most courses on this are built for developers. This one is built especially for designers working in Figma, no engineering background needed.
Weeks 1 to 3: Core Figma properly. Components, variables, auto layout, and naming. Understanding the foundation from the basics to the pro setup. Skip this, and all AI you add is built on sand and useless.
Week 4: Get AI Agent ready: MCP and Code Connect demystified for designers, and a live exercise building your own lightweight agent with Claude Cowork.
No fluff. No detours. Just the skills that matter right now.
Includes:
🧭 How it works, why it matters, design and code reality
✍️ Hands-on exercises every week
📌 Essentials first, extra mile optional
🧩 One real project connecting everything
🔀 Self-paced videos plus live sessions with Christine
🚀 Week 4: Agentic AI for Designers, from MCP to making your own agent
What you’ll learn
From Figma foundations to shipped product — in 5 weeks.
Build a complete, responsive website in Figma with structured components, variables, and layout patterns.
Leave with a reusable UI blueprint of components, variables and styles 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.
Go deep on components, variants, variables, auto layout, and naming. Not just how but why.
Learn to distinguish between essential feature usage and “extra mile” patterns, so you know when depth adds value
Understand how Figma structure maps to front-end code and where it doesn’t.
Learn what agents and developers both read from your file, and how to make it unambiguous for both.
Understand how AI agents read your file and why your structure is their only context.
Demystify MCP and Code Connect, explained for designers without an engineering background.
Build a lightweight agent with Claude Cowork that pulls directly from the project you made in the course.

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.
