This is SO AWESOME to see a front end dev perspective on Figma - I am obsessed. If you haven't dug into auto-layout in there, you'll be mind blown.
I'm really glad you found it made you more consistent - was that because you were pushed to 'build the file' properly with the aim of making a design system?
What pushed you to explore Figma in the first place?
My main goal when I started creating the design system was to be able to extract everything I had done in my website to be able to use it in other types of assets, socialmedia cards, slides, banners, ... so I wouldn't have to fight with external templates, from Canva for example, to look like my brand.
The fact of choosing Figma was because in Illustrator I didn't have the necessary functionalities to do web design and because I didn't have a Mac, so Sketch was not an option for me, I chose it for being online and in the end, multiplatform. And the truth is that I am very happy with how it works! Love it!
This is amazing Alba! I love the outcome and the fact that you can create slides from this. Do you have any idea if that plugin exists for Sketch? I will like to do something like this for my brand too.
Oooh thank you Gift 😍
Your brand is amazing, we need to see the pink slides in place 💃🔥

Great article, you’ve basically done what I’ve wanted to do with figma for a while for my side projects, but I haven’t found a good place to start. Definitely going to be using this article as a reference point.
I was looking for something on this, thanks a lot! Great work, Alba.
I'm glad it's useful for someone else 😍🤗
Thanks for sharing, one very useful plugin I've found is the Export Code plugin. Oombla.com
What a cool thing, thanks a lot for sharing it too! 💜
Awesome stuff Alba,
right in time to refactor the Design System of my company 🎉
Thanks a lot Mateo, and that's amazing 🍾 I'm pretty sure you will have a nice experience refactoring it 😍
