Figma has made a big leap forward and is striving to enable a new kind of designer within the tool: the technical-inclined designer, who is closer to a developer and likes to figure out the logic and set up their designs to scale.
With design tokens, you can quickly and easily change the look and feel of websites and applications by simply updating values in one central location.
You’re browsing a website or an app that is selling a product you know for sure you want to buy. After muddling your way through the main navigation bar that offers dozens of product categories, services, and options to select from, you give up and turn to the search bar to quickly find the item you’re looking for. But the search bar doesn’t direct you to any results.
As a designer, we dream of delivering amazing experiences, beautiful UI, and exceptional products. But how often do we see the end product not match our initial expectations? It’s easy to say “We want to build this amazing thing but we don’t have enough development capacity.” Being able to work around these constraints and being able to get your ideas into production is really a skill on its own.
