Palash Sarkar has presented static design files and interactive prototypes to the same kinds of clients, and the difference in how the work lands is dramatic every time. A prototype that responds to a tap the way the real product will lets a client evaluate the actual experience, not just how it looks frozen on one screen.
Smart Animate Sells the Feel, Not Just the Look
Figma's Smart Animate transition interpolates between two frames automatically when matching layers share a name — turning a jump cut between screens into a smooth transition. Palash Sarkar uses this on interactions that matter to the feel of a product: a modal opening, a tab switching, a card expanding. These small transitions do a lot of work in a client presentation, because they signal that the product will feel considered, not just look considered.
Interactive Components for Realistic Demos
Toggle switches, dropdowns, and form inputs built as interactive components respond to clicks during a prototype walkthrough exactly like the real product would. Palash Sarkar sets these up before every client presentation on gaming and consumer app projects like EsportPro, where hands-on interaction — clicking through a tournament bracket, expanding a leaderboard — communicates the product far more effectively than a static screen ever could.
Overlay and Scroll Interactions for Complex Flows
Modals, dropdowns, and notification toasts are built as overlays in Figma prototypes rather than full-screen navigations, which keeps the underlying screen visible and behaves closer to how the real product will feel. For long pages, Palash Sarkar sets up scroll interactions with fixed headers so a client can genuinely scroll a prototype instead of clicking through screenshot fragments.
Key Takeaways
A well-built Figma prototype turns a client presentation from "here's what it will look like" into "here's what it will feel like to use" — and that shift in framing is often what gets a design approved on the first round instead of the third.
