Design-System Component Library in Figma for a Travel Brand
Overview
What this challenge is about.
You audit a travel app’s components, design Figma variants with states and themes, and plan rollout. You get a verifiable certificate.
The scenario
The travel marketplace (Series D from European travel-focused growth fund, public-listing-track) loses an estimated 25 percent of design time to recreating components — a defensible library is now a board-level efficiency goal.
The Brief
What you'll do, and what you'll demonstrate.
Replace 14 inconsistent component variants across 7 squads with a single Figma component library covering the 12 most-used components.
Earning criteria — what you'll demonstrate
- Audit a real product to surface component-variant sprawl
- Design canonical Figma components with properties + variables
- Write component documentation that prevents misuse
- Plan and measure design-system adoption across multiple squads
