Building Scalable Design Systems in Figma for Multi-Platform Products

A design system is only as good as its adoption rate among engineers. Too often, Figma files look stunning in isolation but fail when translated into code.

At Nexadev, we use a single source of truth approach mapping Figma variables directly to CSS custom properties in @theme inline.

Here is how we maintain token parity across light/dark themes and ensure design handover requires zero back-and-forth ambiguity.
