Examples documenting design patterns in Figma

Romina Kavcic

Having clear documentation is really important for using patterns effectively. It helps designers and developers grasp the purpose, structure, and application of each pattern. This makes learning easier and encourages more people to adopt them.

How to Organize Pattern Documentation:

  • Purpose: Explain why the pattern exists and how to use it.

  • Anatomy: Describe the different parts of the pattern.

  • Behavior and Interaction: Share how the pattern works and how users should interact with it.

  • Code and Design Specifications: Provide the essential technical and design information needed.
