Figma to Tableau Design System

From a three-hour modular dashboard experiment to a reusable library of analytics blocks—designed in Figma, proved in Tableau.

01 · PROTOTYPE

First, make Tableau feel like software.

A constrained three-hour sandbox tested whether parameters, containers, and modular navigation could behave like an app—not a report.

Dashboards. But Make It UI

Sidebar states, table actions, filters, and parameter controls established the interaction grammar.

02 · SYSTEM

Then, turn the experiment into reusable parts.

The strongest behaviors became named, browsable blocks that designers can compose before implementation.

A browsable block library

Area, bar, composition, tooltip, donut, KPI, line, spark, and table patterns create a shared vocabulary for dashboard work.

03 · PUBLIC PROOF

The system exists in public, not just in Figma.

Two live Tableau workbooks and a documented build trail make the design logic inspectable.

The visual discipline extends into distinct dashboard studies.

These are separate projects—not protected work-product redesigns—and remain linked rather than folded into this case study.
