From Concept to Clickable: How Figma Powered Our Journey to a High-Fidelity Prototype
At AppNetWise we recently wrapped up an exciting UI/UX design phase for a platform that’s set to transform real-world asset tokenization and trading. Our mission was clear: take a bold concept and transform it into a fully interactive, investor-ready prototype that vividly communicates both the platform’s vision and its core functionality.
Figma proved to be the backbone of this transformation—powering the entire journey from early ideas to an immersive, high-fidelity prototype.
🧠 Understanding the Challenge & Initial Conceptualization
We began with a deep dive into the commercial property sector’s pain points—its illiquidity and lack of transparency. These insights laid the foundation for everything that followed.
Figma’s intuitive interface allowed us to move quickly from abstract thinking to low-fidelity wireframes and basic user flows.
During fluid ideation, we leveraged Figma Make, an AI-powered feature, to rapidly generate and explore diverse layout directions, providing a powerful launchpad for creative concepts. This flexibility was immensely beneficial, allowing us to explore multiple design directions without heavy investment.
🤝 Fostering Collaboration & Iterative Refinement
As ideas solidified, Figma's cloud-based nature became our central hub for collaborative refinement.
The ability for our design team and the client's stakeholders to collaborate in real-time on the same file was transformative.
Feedback sessions became dynamic and efficient, allowing immediate input and agile iterative adjustments.
This seamless feedback loop was crucial for honing complex elements and ensuring every detail aligned with the strategic goals.
⚙️ Bringing the Vision to Life with Interactive Prototypes
One of the most impactful stages was building a fully interactive prototype using Figma’s robust prototyping features.
We created realistic transitions and connected user flows, bringing abstract ideas to life in a form that felt almost like the real product.
Developed complete journeys tailored for different personas—from asset owners onboarding properties to investors engaging in live auctions. This was crucial in creating demo-ready walkthroughs that stakeholders could interact with and experience.
Please note: While we're excited to share our process and some snapshots, the full platform walkthrough contains confidential information and cannot be publicly shared.
🧩 Ensuring Consistency with a Centralized Design System
To ensure a cohesive and scalable design, we built a centralized design system directly within Figma.
Using Components, we established reusable UI elements (modals, inputs, buttons) alongside a defined style guide (font, consistent color palettes, icons, and shadow styles).
This foundation guarantees consistency across the platform while streamlining future development.
💡 The Transformation: From Idea to Impact ✨
Thanks to Figma’s core capabilities—combined with strong collaboration and strategic focus—we successfully guided this project from initial concept to a high-fidelity, interactive prototype.
This deliverable doesn’t just look beautiful; it embodies the client’s innovation, allowing them to present their product with clarity, confidence, and credibility to partners, investors, and regulators alike.
We’re excited to see what’s next as this platform continues on its journey to reshape the real estate investment landscape.
