What if it all started in Figma?
summary
Claim: a design system onboarding can start inside Figma and shift a system into a shared culture. Built a Figma-first Blueprint onboarding in Figma that links to real libraries, uses Storybook and Zeroheight, and includes a playable component playground. Tested with 6 participants, average 4/5 usefulness and iterated. Template is published on the Figma Community to duplicate. Focus is on concrete tooling, measurable results, and a working, reusable artifact rather than abstract theory.
