Figma | HMI Intermediate

Strengthen your HMI workflow with smarter components, variants and design systems, improving speed, consistency and collaboration across teams.

Course Goals

This 5-day Figma course takes HMI designers from “I can design screens” to “I can build a scalable HMI system that stays consistent across variants, themes, and handoff”. The focus is on advanced layout control, component architecture, tokens and theming, and believable prototyping that supports real review moments with engineering and product.

Designers will develop the skills to independently design, maintain, and hand off a production-ready HMI design system in Figma, including scalable components, responsive layouts, theming, and high-fidelity prototypes.

Key outcomes

• Build scalable component libraries using variants and properties 
• Create realistic interactions using interactive components and prototype behaviours 
• Implement design tokens with variables and modes for light, dark, and brand themes 
• Set up responsive HMI layouts that adapt across screen sizes and aspect ratios
• Prototype complex flows for reviews, including overlays, transitions, and state logic
• Improve design to dev handoff quality using Dev Mode conventions, specs, and annotation habits
