Build Design Systems With Penpot Components

Mikołaj, a designer at Sanity.io, discusses using Penpot's new design tool set to foster better collaboration between designers and developers. He explains that Penpot's tools, which are free and compatible with web-standards, offer designers the ability to create developer-friendly designs by using design system concepts. By creating reusable elements or "components", and allowing for the modification of Flex and Grid layouts in instances, Penpot enables complex interface designs that reflect coding structures. This significantly reduces the translation issues between design and coding, streamlining the handoff process. Penpot's tools also offer compatibility with external libraries and the importation of components from other projects, further extending its capabilities.
