From Figma to code with AI
A system and flow so design doesn't stay in Figma: handoffs delivered as code aligned with the design system, with tools the team can adopt.
Close the gap between Figma and code: the designer delivers working code the developer refines, rather than rebuilds from scratch.
Result of the flow: a coded screen faithful to the design and the system.
Context
The traditional design handoff goes like this: the designer hands off in Figma, the developer interprets it and rebuilds it from scratch in code. That creates fidelity gaps, wasted time and rework. With tools like Cursor, Claude Code, Figma MCP and Code Connect, I spotted the opportunity to remove that gap: making the designer's deliverable already-working code that the developer only refines.
Research
Technical research into Code Connect, Figma MCP, Cursor and Claude Code to understand how to integrate them day to day.
Analysis of the team's current handoff flow between design and development.
Solution
Public-site design system in both Figma and the repo.
Components linked to their implementation with Code Connect; with Figma MCP, the AI reuses real pieces and tokens.
Progressive rollout: home first, then the service inner pages.
The developer stopped rebuilding entire screens and focused on performance, integrations and QA.
