Team Design Workflow
This tutorial demonstrates a professional team workflow that combines Stitch, Figma, and v0 for maximum efficiency. You will use each tool where it excels: Stitch for AI exploration, Figma for design refinement, and v0 for production code.
Step 1: Explore in Stitch (Designer/PM)
The designer or PM opens Stitch and generates 5-10 design directions for a new feature. Use the Agent Manager to explore contrasting approaches simultaneously: a minimal version, a data-rich version, and a visual-heavy version. This takes 15-30 minutes versus hours of manual design.
Step 2: Select and Refine in Stitch
The team reviews the explorations and selects 2-3 promising directions. Refine these with additional prompts, Direct Edits, and Voice Canvas input. Use Prototyping to create basic flows for each direction. Present these to stakeholders for a decision.
Step 3: Export to Figma (Designer)
Export the chosen design to Figma using Standard Mode. The designer cleans up the imported layers, applies the team's Figma design system components, ensures accessibility standards, and adds detailed annotations. This brings AI-generated designs up to production design quality.
Step 4: Design Review in Figma (Team)
Conduct a design review in Figma using the team's standard process — comments, suggestions, and iterations. Figma's collaboration features shine here: multiple designers can contribute, developers can inspect specs, and PMs can leave feedback.
Step 5: Generate Code with v0 (Developer)
The developer takes the finalized Figma designs and uses v0 (by Vercel) to generate production React/Next.js components. v0 produces clean, typed components with shadcn/ui and Tailwind CSS that are ready for the codebase.
Step 6: Integrate and Ship
The developer integrates the v0-generated components into the project, connects backend logic, writes tests, and deploys. The entire workflow — from initial exploration to deployed feature — combines the speed of AI with the quality of human refinement.
What You Built
You have executed a professional team workflow: AI-powered exploration (Stitch) → design refinement (Figma) → production code (v0) → deployment. This workflow delivers high-quality results at 3-5x the speed of a traditional design-to-code process.
