What happened
Customer.io's product design team uses Figma variables to standardize colors, spacing, type size, border radius and typography, and uses Dev Mode annotations to hand designs off to developers. This reduces implementation errors and speeds up the design-to-development handoff.

With variables, the team was able to standardize design properties from the ground up. "A developer doesn't have to worry about making their own interpretation of a design. It's going to help new developers translate a mock into implementation when the spec is 60–70% right in front of them," says Aiden.
