Holistic design systems for the AI coding era
With the advent of AI coding, our needs evolved in how we work and in the pace at which we ship.In the last year, we’ve moved away from traditional design tools like Figma and come to depend entirely on our code-based design system for designing and prototyping. Designers at Numeric work primarily in code now, in fully interactive prototypes in the browser. We now manage all our prototypes as high-resolution apps that are deployed as part of the design system documentation.
