Figma Organization
Role: Senior Product Designer
Users impacted: 80,000
Team: 1 Lead Product Designer, 1 Senior Product Designer
Problem
There were 10 designers struggling with file organization, version control, and tracking changes across multiple projects.
Solution
Create and align a standardized Figma structure to improve collaboration and efficiency.
-
Context
Interviews with Lead Designers revealed key pain points: no standardized naming conventions, difficulty locating files, unclear version history, and poor visibility into project status.
To address these issues, I proposed a standardized Figma structure that would improve collaboration, version control, and overall efficiency for the design team.
- Standardized naming conventions for files and components
- Organized file structure with clear hierarchy
- Version control and change tracking system
- Improved visibility into project status and progress
Figma File
We created a few principles that would allow for a consistent and scalable Figma structure, that is easy for Leads to view and understand.
- Created a simple status system in the layers panel
- Every story has a page, so that content is easier to find for Developers
- Feedback and changes are tracked in the Figma file so that leads can see what was completed
-
Simple Feedback Log
To allow Lead designer to see exactly what we're working on and what has been completed. I quickly implemented this on some projects that were in active sprints so that leads could have real-time visibility into progress.
