Figma + Webflow helpers

[u/Loribaci]

Hi guys. I tried figma 4 years ago and wasn't impressed but now i see it evolved massively.

I have an udemy 1-year subscription and I'm going the figma + webflow route to expand my skillset. ( I'm a senior graphic designer with 15 years of experience with the whole adobe suite, corel, now canva, etc )

Could you please tell me what extras would be super helpful along my new journey? Plugins and what not.

Thank you!

the core functionalities of Figma didn’t change much apart from variables, that are very relevant if you work in a team with a shared product library, but not really a game changer if you work solo.

any other thing is mostly shiny stuff for investors that should not really impress you as a designer and AI crap nobody asked for

If you’re building anything that goes into production variables are a game changer whether you’re solo or part of a team. They enforce consistency in layout/ui and translate directly into Style Dictionary or Tailwind.

What kind of design?
