Session 01 / Design Ops

The Design to Code Workflow

Bridging the gap between intent and implementation through component-driven parity.

Bridging the gap between the designer's intent and the developer's execution is the core challenge of modern design operations. By adopting a component-driven design philosophy, we ensure that the visual language in Figma and the functional logic in code share the same DNA. This session explores how design tokens, automated handoffs, and GenAI catalysts reduce 'translation loss' and accelerate product delivery without sacrificing craft.

Central Source of Truth

Central Source of Truth

Figma is the final consumer and documentation authority for all design intent, structure, and rules.

Dynamic Context Flow

Dynamic Context Flow

Context is the currency. It travels across all tools, accumulates meaning, and resolves back into the design system.

Compiler-Based Architecture

Compiler-Based Architecture

Design intent is compiled into code through a flexible pipeline, preparing for a future where multiple intelligent agents contribute.
