How to Build Wireframes That Actually Work
Translate product strategy into clear wireframing layouts. Master the priority user flows that drive your app design.
Translating abstract product strategy into visual layouts is the most critical step in design. This guide focuses on identifying the right user flows to ensure your application solves the problem before you ever open a design tool. We cover how to build low-fidelity wireframes that communicate functionality without getting bogged down in visual details.
You will learn how to use a States Checklist to ensure every interaction is accounted for and how to properly annotate your work for developers. These techniques help you create high-impact portfolio pieces that demonstrate clear thinking. This session sets the stage for our upcoming hands-on lab where we build these concepts in Figma and Balsamiq.
