Solution
The Facebook Messenger design team was looking for a development partner to build custom Figma plugins to improve their internal design processes. We worked with them to learn the ins and outs of their workflows, understand their pain points, and identify system limitations. We then built the Messenger design team a suite of Figma plugins to improve design efficiency and team coordination.
Services
Supported Platforms
Conversation Generator Plugin
This plugin enables designers to easily build a conversation within Figma from pre-saved conversation bubbles, profile photos, and other assets.
Theme Switcher Plugin
This plugin streamlines theme implementation and customization. Rather than having to create separate themes for every design asset, designers can now set theme colors and instantly switch between color sets. In addition to improving the end-stage design process, this also saves designers a huge amount of time while allowing them to do their work in dark mode (which is easier on the eyes) without the hassle of manually applying theme colors to each asset afterwards.
Content Fill Plugin
This plugin automatically pulls text and images into Figma from a custom database where the team can upload and store content, enabling design assets to always be up to date with the proper text and images from the content team.
