Friends of Figma Talk: Design Systems, Building Components & Hand-off to Dev

Friends of Figma Talk: Design Systems, Building Components & Hand-off to Dev

The Opportunity

The local meetup group Friends of Figma, Irvine Chapter, asked me to speak at one of their upcoming events alongside a software developer to discuss how designers can set themselves up for success when their work reaches the hands of the engineering team.

⭐️ The Goal

Create and present a half hour talk, plus a workshop, that would be complementary to the software developer's talk and be valuable to meetup members at different experience levels.
