📌 tech.fast "There Is No Button: Building Decentralized, Headless UI Design Systems in Figma" (Co-host Softhouse)
Join us for an engaging session with Jonas Bröms, Senior Product Designer and Fullstack Developer, as he unpacks how to create a decentralized, headless UI design system in Figma; one that trades bloated variants and rigid component libraries for flexible, scalable structures inspired by forefront coding frontend architecture principles.
“Do not try and bend the button & variant. That’s impossible. Instead, only try to realize the truth.
Designers: What truth?
Jonas: There is no button nor variant.
Designers: There is no button nor variant?
Jonas: Then you’ll see that it is not the button nor the variant that bends, it is only yourself.”
In this talk, you will learn how:
Break down the philosophy behind headless UI design systems (and why it’s a game-changer).
Show how to model abstract architecture & structure in Figma for scalability and performance.
Share practical workflows that reduce memory bloat, speed up collaboration, and make component handover effortless.
Expect a mix of hard-earned lessons, live examples, and a pinch of Matrix-level mind-bending metaphors. Whether you’re a design system nerd or just tired of Figma sluggishness, this session will reshape how you think about components, variants, and design system architecture.
