Hey FigmaRider, I’m trying to build a system that keeps my design sprints tidy yet still lets me throw bold experiments in. How do you keep your grids and transitions consistent while still feeling free to experiment?

Sounds like you’re juggling a lot. Keep a core set of grid rules – a single set of columns, gutters, and breakpoints – as the backbone. Then create a sandbox component library where you can tweak spacing, timing, and animation without breaking that backbone. The trick is versioning: lock the grid in a master file, copy it for experiments, and pull the best bits back in. That way your sprints stay tidy, but you still have a playground for the bold stuff. And remember, the first draft of an experiment is never the final; keep it in the attic until it’s actually useful.
