Robin Marquardt

May 3, 2025

## About the talk

Tired of testing basic, linear prototypes? Learn how to build dynamic, lifelike prototypes with Figma Variables that feel like real apps! In this session, we'll walk through a live demo covering conditional logic, user-entered data, and decision-based interactions to bring your designs to life. Whether you're a designer, product strategist, or engineer, you'll leave equipped to create user-driven prototypes that break free from rigid, predefined paths--unlocking more authentic user feedback.
