Welcome back, folks!
Last week, I took a break away for the long Easter weekend and instead of sharing chocolate eggs, I bring you another type of treat — in the shape of Figma plugins.
After working closely with the team on a significant refactor of our Figma files and the Design System behind it, I’ve found these three plugins to be a massive help throughout the process. So without further ado, let’s check them out.
1. Style Organiser
Whether you are migrating from one design system to another, creating one from scratch, or would just simply like to do some spring cleaning on your styles, this little gem will save you a tonne of time.
2. Able (accessibility)
Accessibility can often be seen as a luxury and a nice-to-have but with tools like Able, there really is no excuse for not making your products more accessible. Check it out and help to improve the accessibility of your products today.
3. Themer
Last but not least, this little doozy of a plugin has been a great help as we move towards a cleaned-up version of our dark mode. With minimal set-up, this little floating box can quickly flip the switch on your UI. Lights on. Lights off. Lights on...you get the picture.
All of these plugins have been a great help during the process of cleaning up both our light and dark themes for our Design System. As we reach the end of the roll-out I’ll share some further feedback on what we learned along the way.

Powering this week’s thoughts
Music plays such an important role when I am thinking, working, and reflecting. I also find it interesting to see what others are listening to.
It's a gateway into an aspect of their personality. That's why I'd like to share, with each article, an artist or playlist that I have been listening to that week.
