Case Study: Elsewhen achieves streamlined product design and increased collaboration with Figma

How Elsewhen builds digital products for their clients

Elsewhen is a UK-based digital product consultancy that helps B2B and enterprise clients identify broken systems and improve day-to-day operations. Because their work requires close, ongoing collaboration with clients, Elsewhen uses Figma as a collaborative home base to design, workshop, prototype, and remove routine steps like exporting and distributing assets. Their client work exposed challenges such as Spotify’s need to understand and improve design productivity and Inmarsat’s lack of a single source of truth for design components across a distributed workforce.

To address those problems, Elsewhen implemented Figma-based solutions: they co-created the open-sourced Design Productivity Blueprint in Figma with Spotify—workshop and interview templates to help teams spend more time designing and less on slow tasks—and built Inmarsat’s first design system in Figma, creating component libraries for type, buttons, icons, and grids. Using Figma enabled Elsewhen’s clients to reduce repetitive work, onboard designers faster, and build and ship products more quickly by giving teams a clear, shared source of truth.
