How we use it
Figma design systems that bridge creative work and production code
Figma design systems work best when they mirror the structure of the production codebase rather than existing as a parallel creative artefact. At Innovative Momentum, every Figma file we produce is organised around the same component boundaries as the WordPress theme: a page section in Figma corresponds to a template-part file in PHP, and a design token in Figma maps to a CSS custom property in the theme. This means handoff is a spec review, not a translation exercise. We use Figma for initial page design, layout iteration, component library building, and client review before development begins. We also use it to document responsive behaviour, spacing rules, and state variants so developers have complete context without back-and-forth.
