Explain Figma Smart Animate's core principle and layer matching requirements
Tests Figma's layer-matching logic for prototyping. Great answers cover: name-based matching between frames, compatible layer types, and interpolated properties like position and size.
Build a reusable checkbox with unchecked, checked, and hover states
Tests Figma interactive components. Answer: create a component set with unchecked, checked, and hover variants; wire them with Change to actions using On click and While hovering triggers.
How would you prototype fixed header, footer, and scrollable content?
Make content taller than frame, enable Clip content and vertical overflow, then fix header and footer.
Steps to publish color and text styles to a Figma shared library
Open Publish in the right panel, select color and text styles, add a version note, publish; teammates enable the library.
How do you handle versioning and breaking changes in a shared library?
This tests bridging design and engineering workflows. A strong answer covers semantic versioning, a protected main file with branching, a visible changelog, and release alignment with code.
How do you migrate a breaking change in a mature design system?
This tests organizational change management at scale, not just code changes. A strong answer covers SemVer major versioning, beta testing with key consumers, phased deprecation timelines, and automated file audits.
What is the accessibility problem with color-only status and two fixes?
This tests WCAG 1.4.1 Use of Color: red-green status is invisible to many colorblind users. A strong answer names two non-color cues like icons or text labels. A red flag is claiming high contrast alone fixes the problem without a secondary visual indicator.
Minimum WCAG AA contrast for normal vs large text and Figma checks
This tests WCAG AA contrast thresholds and Figma operationalization. A strong answer states 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text, then describes using Figma's native contrast panel or Stark to audit color pairs.
Design the keyboard interaction flow for a modal dialog
Your grasp of accessible focus management per WAI-ARIA dialog patterns. Cover initial focus rules, Tab trapping inside the modal, Escape to close, and restoring focus to the trigger on exit.
Designing and documenting focus order in Figma
Focus order is the sequence keyboard and screen-reader users traverse interactive elements; it should follow meaning and reading order, documented in Figma via layer order, numbered annotations…
How do you enforce WCAG touch target minimums in Figma?
Tests WCAG 2.2 SC 2.5.8 and design-system governance. A strong answer cites the 24x24 CSS pixel minimum and spacing exception, then covers Figma component constraints and linting. A red flag is dumping accessibility on developers without design guardrails.
How do you indicate sort state accessibly in a data table?
Use shape-differentiated icons, annotate aria-sort on the active header, and maximize the button click target.
Walk me through inspecting a component's styling in Figma Dev Mode
Press Shift+D; find the ready-for-dev frame in the left sidebar; click to center it; inspect colors, typography, and spacing.
How do you export and optimize a Figma SVG for web?
This tests your design-to-code workflow. A strong answer covers: selecting the vector layer, adding an SVG export in the right sidebar, and running the output through SVGO to strip metadata and flatten transforms.
Translate Figma Auto Layout padding, direction, and spacing to Flexbox
Tests your ability to bridge design tools and CSS layout mechanics. Match direction to flex-direction, padding to gap or container padding, space-between to justify-content, and hug/fill to flex-grow or flex-shrink.
How would you map Figma Variables to CSS Custom Properties for tokens?
This tests bridging Figma variable collections and modes into maintainable CSS. A strong answer maps collections to semantic CSS custom properties, supports mode switching via data attributes, and mirrors design system naming.
How do Figma variants influence component code structure?
Tests design-to-code translation and component API modeling. Map variant properties to semantic props like size and type; handle interactive states internally via CSS. Prioritize property names over pixel values.
How do you identify responsive breakpoints in Figma for CSS?
Tests if you derive CSS logic from Figma structure, not pixels. A strong answer checks auto layout direction changes, wrap toggles, and resizing rules to find behavior shifts, then maps those widths to queries.
Limitations of Figma Dev Mode generated code
Dev Mode output is static, absolute-positioned, non-semantic, and ignores responsiveness, state, and your component system; use it for values and structure, then refactor to semantic, tokenized…
How would you extract Figma Variables via REST API for Style Dictionary?
Tests Figma Variables to Style Dictionary architecture. Outline: paginate REST endpoint, map modes/aliases to W3C draft JSON, then run Style Dictionary in CI from tokens folder. Red flag: raw API payloads without type normalization or alias resolution.
