How I Combined Design and Code in My Front-End Developer Journey

Hey, I’m Grzegorz — a front-end developer who bridges the gap between UI design and front-end development. I’m starting this blog to share real-world techniques on how I turn Figma designs into working React components using Tailwind CSS, JavaScript, and best practices in responsive design.

Why I Started This Blog

Over time, I realized many tutorials focus on code or design — but rarely both. That’s why I’m sharing my process of converting Figma to front-end, from layout structure to pixel-perfect implementation.

What You’ll Learn Here

On this blog, I’ll cover topics like:

  • How to go from Figma to React code, step by step

  • Building responsive UI with Tailwind CSS

  • Component-based design and how it helps developers

  • Front-end tips for developers who care about design

  • UI/UX best practices from a developer’s perspective

Coming Soon: Figma-to-React Mini Series

My first mini series will take real UI elements designed in Figma and show how I rebuild them using React and Tailwind — with explanations from both the coding and design side.

Stay tuned — and let’s build something beautiful, functional, and fast. 🚀
