Figma Design System Workshop

Design systems are the foundation of consistent, scalable product design. This workshop teaches you to build systems that your entire team will actually use, based on my experience creating Figma's internal component library.

We start with design tokens—the atomic building blocks of any system. You'll learn to define colors, typography, spacing, and shadows in a way that's both designer-friendly and developer-ready. We cover naming conventions and documentation strategies.

The component architecture section is where things get interesting. You'll build complex components with variants, interactive states, and slot patterns. We tackle real challenges: How do you handle responsive components? What about components that need different configurations per platform?

By the end, you'll have built a complete design system including buttons, inputs, cards, navigation, and modals. You'll also have documentation templates and a handoff strategy for working with developers.
