- Ensure that the design system components are in Figma with tokens.
Collaboration with Product and Engineering Teams
- Work closely with the product team to use the design system to replicate the navigation and pages of the application and any future pages in the product plan.
- Collaborate with the engineering team to deliver the design system's reusable components and use them to replace the design of the application.
