From Idea to Prototype, Without Figma
Designers live in Figma. Engineers live in code. And somewhere in between, PMs are trying to ship features faster. But the reality is, your team is maintaining two versions of the same Design System: one that looks good in mock-ups, and one that actually goes live.
With every sprint, they drift a little further apart. With every handoff, something gets lost in translation. Interactions go missing. Tokens get hardcoded. The component your designer used doesn't exist in the codebase, so the developer builds a new one.
Most teams have accepted this as the cost of building products. It isn't. It's the cost of running two parallel systems that struggle to stay in sync.
What if the Design System only existed in one place, and Figma is no longer needed?
What if anyone on the team could create prototypes directly in code, respecting every token and component, without a single handoff?
In this live session, we're making that real.
You'll watch a designer, a PM, and an engineer build a working, production-grade prototype together, in code, inside a real Design System, from blank canvas to something testable, in a single session. No Figma. No handoff.
What to expect:
We'll connect directly to a live Design System: tokens, components, guidelines and constraints
We will build a complete prototype in code, start to finish, with no handoff step
We'll try to go off-brand, so you can watch the system reject it in real time
A designer, PM, and engineer building in the same workspace simultaneously
A live cost breakdown: what teams actually recover when they stop maintaining two systems
This session is for you if you're:
An Engineering Lead tired of rebuilding what design already decided
A Head of Design who needs your system enforced everywhere, not just respected in Figma
A CPO or VP of Product who wants prototypes validated in hours, not sprints
Seats are limited to keep the Q&A useful.
