Crafting Intuitive Power BI Dashboards with Figma

Too often, we jump straight into building visuals without thinking about layout, hierarchy, or user flow.

This session introduces a design-first approach to Power BI by using Figma to wireframe layouts before development. You’ll learn how to structure reports around decisions, apply visual hierarchy principles, and design intuitive dashboards that users actually engage with.

We’ll walk through the end-to-end workflow from wireframing in Figma to translating designs into Power BI ensuring consistency, usability, and clarity. By the end, you’ll understand how thoughtful design dramatically improves adoption, storytelling, and business impact.

Key Takeaways:

- Wireframing in Figma reduces rework and improves clarity.
- Start with user goals, not visuals.
- Spacing, alignment, and contrast matter more than chart type.
-Themes, layout grids, and standard components improve usability.
- Well-designed dashboards are used more, trusted more, and understood faster.
