Designing and developing a figma plugin for the community
Simplifying color system visualization in figma
I designed and built this Figma plugin to address a direct community need: an effective method for visualizing color variable collections as distinct palettes. This personal project involved the complete UX/UI design, developing the plugin using the Figma API to read variables, and publishing it to the Figma Community. The goal was to provide a tool that integrates natively within the Figma environment, allowing designers to quickly and clearly see how their color variables organize into palettes.
Transforming variables into visual palettes
The main challenge was to create a simple, intuitive solution for a process that was previously manual and time-consuming. Designers often manage extensive libraries of color variables but lacked a direct way to convert them into organized palette previews, whether for their own understanding, documentation, or communication with other team members.
