VARIABLES
The design system was created using Figma variables, to enhance flexibility and scalability. By defining and managing reusable styles and properties such as colors, typography, and spacings, I ensured consistency and efficiency across the design. The use of variables allowed for easy updates and customization, fostering collaboration among team members and enabling the design system to scale seamlessly as the product evolved.
