Future of design systems, Figma MCP and Contextual Engineering

TJ Pitre is a front-end engineer and design systems strategist with over 20 years of experience helping product teams ship faster and more consistently. As the founder and CEO of Southleft, he’s built a consultancy trusted by teams at NASDAQ, Caterpillar, Indeed, and IBM — known for its strong culture of creativity, truth, and craftsmanship. In this episode, TJ dives into how AI is reshaping the way we design, prototype, and build. He shares his process for blending atomic design principles with AI-assisted workflows, using tools like Figma MCP, Cursor, and his own creations — FigmaLint, Story UI, and Design Systems Assistant MCP. What you’ll learn: 1. How atomic design principles evolve in an AI-driven workflow 2. The changing role of Figma in building modern design systems 3. How to use Figma MCP and Cursor to bridge design and engineering 4. What “contextual engineering” means — and how it differs from “vibe coding” 5. How small, reusable components can accelerate AI-assisted prototyping 6.
