Build Scalable UI in Figma — for Designers Ready for AI
Christine Vallaure
Founder moonlearning · 2× Config Speaker
The complete Figma course: Master the foundations most skip. Stay ahead with AI.
Most designers are feeling it. Figma is evolving fast, AI is changing how products get built, and the gap between design and the final product keeps shrinking. Staying relevant means more than knowing the tools. It means understanding how your work connects to what actually ships.
This course was built for exactly that moment.
You'll build a structured, scalable UI from the ground up, running through all core features, work on a real project, and use AI tools to bring your designs to life. Along the way, you'll build a clear picture of how Figma connects to front-end code and modern workflows.
You'll leave with practical confidence, a reusable UI blueprint, and the skills to work at the intersection of design and building.
🧭 A proven learning structure: how it works → why it matters → design ↔ code → workflow
✍️ 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 sessions with Christine
🚀 From design to live product, ship with Figma Sites, MCP, and AI-assisted code
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 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 every core feature: components, variants, variables, auto layout, grids, and prototyping. So you know not just how but why.
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.
Good Figma structure is what makes AI-generated code actually work. You'll understand why.
Use the Figma MCP to bridge your design directly to code.

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.
