#32 Hub Meet: Turning a Figma design into a working live app with Claude Code
A lot of designers have a portfolio full of mockups and no easy way to show that the designs work once somebody starts clicking on them.
In this session Kieran will take a UI design from the Figma community and build it into a working web app, live. He'll connect Figma to Claude Code using the Figma connector, pull the design in, get it working and then put it online so anyone can open it from a link.
He's not a designer, so he'll be starting from somebody else's design, the same way you'd start from one of yours.
You don't need to know how to code. By the end you should be able to do the same with one of your own designs and add a working version to your portfolio.
Join us for this edition of Hub Meet, where creatives, innovators, and UX/UI enthusiasts come together to connect, collaborate, and cultivate ideas in a vibrant community setting.
You’ll learn how to:
Connect Figma to Claude Code with the Figma connector
Pull a design in so the result matches what you drew
Turn static screens into a product that works
Add a database and authentication
Put the finished app online so you can link to it from your portfolio
