Broken files turned into a functional component library. Rebuilt Figma with clear patterns and Tailwind components, turning confusion into seamless collaboration between design and development
Thomas Archer is a boutique design and custom home builder in Melbourne. Their website project had stalled after graphic design files were handed over to developers. The Figma files were inconsistent, overly complex, and difficult to translate into code. Developers faced confusion, wasted time, and rising frustration, putting the website at risk.
The original designs were visually strong but not built for digital use. Elements were created individually instead of as reusable components. Styles and colours varied widely, and Photoshop-like effects made development unmanageable. With deadlines looming, the project needed a complete design overhaul without losing the brand’s visual identity.
We rebuilt the files into a structured component library with clarity, consistency, and usability in mind. Components replaced individual elements, styles were rationalised, and clear naming conventions were established. The redesign balanced visual appeal with functionality, ensuring every detail was achievable in development while maintaining responsiveness and accessibility.
We acted as the UI specialist, bridging the gap between designers and developers. This meant restructuring every page in Figma, establishing typography, colour, and spacing rules, then building reusable components with Tailwind. Regular communication with Relab’s development team ensured smooth handoff and no surprises. The result was a component library that not only looked good but worked in practice.
“The redesign solved the communication breakdown between design and development. The new system is clean, consistent, and easy to work with. It elevated both the process and the end result.”
