My Design-to-Dev Workflow
A breakdown of how I convert high-fidelity designs into clean, live prototypes.
For years, I handed off Figma files to developers and hoped for the best. Then I discovered Framer — and everything changed. My workflow now allows me to prototype, test, and ship directly from my design files. I begin in Figma with modular components, solid auto layout practices, and proper typography styles. Once ready, I move the project into Framer where the build becomes interactive.
In Framer, I wire components to CMS data, layer in animations, and adjust responsiveness directly — no need to wait on devs. It’s not just faster; it’s more honest to the end product. Clients no longer get static screens — they see their product, live and breathing.
I’ve saved countless hours on revisions. I’ve also started to think more like a frontend engineer — solving layout problems early. Designers today need more than aesthetics; they need end-to-end fluency.
