A client approached me with a polished Figma design and needed it built pixel-perfectly in React with full functionality including authentication and file uploads. The project involved translating every design token, spacing value, and interaction state from Figma into a production-ready React and Tailwind application, integrated with Firebase for auth and AWS S3 for asset storage.
Key Features
Pixel-Perfect Conversion
Every spacing value, typography scale, colour token, and component variant faithfully reproduced from the Figma design file.
Firebase Authentication
Secure user sessions with email/password and social login options. Auth state persists across page reloads.
AWS S3 File Storage
User-uploaded assets stored in S3 with pre-signed URLs for secure, direct browser-to-bucket uploads without exposing credentials.
Component Architecture
Reusable React components mapped directly to Figma component variants. Props match the design system's states (default, hover, disabled, error).
Fully Responsive
Adaptive layout across mobile, tablet, and desktop breakpoints, following the responsive specs from the original Figma file.
Performance Optimised
Code splitting, lazy-loaded routes, and optimised asset delivery ensure fast initial render and low Lighthouse scores.
The Challenge
The Figma design used custom font stacks and non-standard spacing values that didn't map cleanly to Tailwind defaults. I extended the Tailwind config with a custom design token layer that mirrored the Figma variables exactly, making future design updates straightforward to apply.
Outcome
Pixel-perfect implementation signed off by the client with no revision requests on the visual layer. Auth and file upload features working as specified. Delivered ahead of the agreed deadline.
