The design system is becoming a small creative toolset
Figma now supports vertical wrapping in auto layout and lets people publish custom Weave tools to the Community for repeatable image and vector generation.
The Story
Two small Figma updates reveal a larger direction. Layout behaviour is moving closer to real web logic, while Weave tools let designers package their own generative workflows for repeated use.
That changes the role of a design system. It is no longer only a library of components and tokens; it can also become a set of studio-specific instruments that produce, transform or test brand material.
For Studio Wensday, the opportunity is to document the moves that make your work recognisable. A custom tool for crops, textures, image treatments or launch graphics could turn tacit taste into a repeatable advantage.

The next layer of design-system thinking is operational: encode not only what the brand looks like, but how it gets made.
