I Got Better as a Design Systems Designer When I Built Free UI Kit

I really started understanding Figma much more and really became an expert of the tool once I started designing and building my own UI kits in my free time.

I was able to push the limits of Figma, try new things without guardrails and design for what I would need.

It made me perform better at work and be able to teach other designers on my product design team as a whole how to use our components, and build their screens with precision.
