Wireframing & Interactive Prototyping in Figma

Prototypes bring product concepts to life before writing code. Hiring managers evaluate UI/UX designers on sketching low-fidelity wireframes, translating user flows into high-fidelity interactive Figma prototypes, component state variants, and realistic micro-interactions.

1. Interactive Figma Prototype Link

Fully linked Figma prototype featuring clickable user flows, component state hover/active variants, and smooth transitions.

2. Low-to-High Fidelity Wireframe Evolution Deck

Design deck documenting layout iterations from initial paper sketches to finalized UI wireframes.

3. Prototype User Flow Documentation

Diagram mapping primary user task pathways, edge cases, and modal overlay behaviors.

Frequently Asked Questions (Wireframing & Prototyping)

What is the difference between a wireframe and a prototype?

Wireframes are static, low-fidelity structural blueprints focused on layout and content hierarchy. Prototypes are interactive, high-fidelity simulations that demonstrate user interactions and dynamic behavior.

When should designers transition from low-fi to high-fi wireframes?

Transition to high-fidelity UI only after core layout, information hierarchy, and user task flows are validated on low-fidelity wireframes.

How do you structure overlay interactions in Figma prototypes?

Use Figma's 'Open Overlay' trigger set to 'Center' or 'Manual' positioning, with 'Close when clicking outside' enabled for clean modal testing.
