FROM FIGMA TO CODE SMOOTH DESIGNER-TO-DEVELOPER WORKFLOW
WHY - Design handoffs can be messy - Miscommunication leads to inconsistent UI - A streamlined workflow improves product quality and delivery time IT MATTERS
- Use standardized fonts, colors, spacing; - Define grids, breakpoints, and components in Figma; - Ensure naming consistency (e.g., btn- primary, card-shadow); STEP 1 — SET CLEAR DESIGN TOKENS
- Copy exact CSS values (padding, margins, borders); - Export SVGs, images, and assets directly; - Inspect layout details in real time; STEP 2 — USE FIGMA’S DEV MODE OR INSPECT PANEL STEP 1 — SET CLEAR DESIGN TOKENS
- Create reusable UI components in code to mirror Figma’s; - Use tools like Storybook or Bit.dev; - Sync design changes regularly with dev updates; STEP 3 — BUILD A SHARED COMPONENT LIBRARY STEP 1 — SET CLEAR DESIGN TOKENS
- Clarify interactions (hover states, animations); - Use comments in Figma and regular stand-ups; - Keep Figma and dev builds versioned and linked; STEP 1 — SET CLEAR DESIGN TOKENS STEP 4 — COMMUNICATE EARLY AND OFTEN
“DESIGN IS NOT FINISHED UNTIL IT'S CODED — AND CODING IS NOT FINISHED UNTIL IT LOOKS DESIGNED.” A GOOD WORKFLOW ISN’T ABOUT PERFECTION, BUT ALIGNMENT. DEVELOPERS AND DESIGNERS WORKING IN SYNC CREATE BETTER PRODUCTS, FASTER.
