At BearStudio, Figma is where all our design work happens — wireframes, mockups, prototypes, design systems. It’s been our tool since day one, and nothing else has come close to replacing it.
What makes Figma stick is how naturally it fits into our workflow. A designer can set up a screen, a developer can inspect it and grab the values they need, and a client can leave comments — all in the same file. No exporting, no back-and-forth over screenshots. When we iterate on a design, everyone sees the changes in real time.
In practice, we structure our Figma projects around components, variants, and auto-layout — the same principles we follow in code. That consistency between what’s designed and what’s built is what keeps our projects moving fast. Our design system lives in Figma first, and from there it gets translated into code through Start UI.
