Design Engineering: the bridge between Figma and code
A hybrid design-engineering profile that lives in the front end with the same design rigour you would have in Figma. No clumsy handoffs, no "this can't be done in code".
The problem we solve.
The design-development handoff is one of the biggest quality leaks. The designer delivers a Figma, the developer interprets it as best they can, and the result in product never quite matches what was on screen.
A design engineer closes that gap. They work on the frontend code with design judgement, keep the tokens connected, prototype complex interactions in real code and remove friction between the two teams.
What is included
- Pixel-perfect implementation of designs as reusable components
- Tokens and variables connected between Figma and code (Style Dictionary)
- Microinteractions and complex animations properly implemented
- Storybook with visual tests and integrated accessibility
- High-fidelity code prototypes to validate before production
Our process for Design Engineering.
Embed
We integrate with your product and development team during the sprint, not as an external vendor.
Build
We work on components, microinteractions and advanced prototypes with a focus on detail and consistency.
Transfer
We document patterns and train the team so quality holds up when we leave the project.
When it adds the most
When your product has complex components (dense dashboards, visual editors, interactive canvases), when the design system is growing faster than the front end can absorb it, or when the design-engineering relationship starts generating more friction than value.
