Building the AppLayout and AppBar | PIPs Design System

In this episode, we move past the login screen and start building the main app layout. We create a reusable App Layout component, build a top bar with our logo and user account button, and connect it to our login flow with Figma’s prototyping tools. This sets the foundation for all future screens and demonstrates how a scalable design system makes changes easy and consistent. What you’ll learn: • Creating a reusable app layout frame • Building a top navigation bar using components • Setting up Figma auto layout and spacing tokens • Prototyping the login-to-home screen transition • Best practices for scalable design system components Chapters: 00:00 – Intro: moving into the app 00:28 – Creating the App Layout component 01:20 – Building the top bar (logo + account button) 02:45 – Nesting layout and spacing with auto layout 04:10 – Component hygiene and reusability tips 05:15 – Setting up prototype interaction (login → home) 06:30 – Using dissolve transition and preview 08:10 – What’s next: logout and user menu #FigmaDesignSystem #UIDesign #AppLayout #FigmaComponents #ProductDesign #FigmaTutorial
