From Figma to Storefront: A Bespoke Prestige Theme Build for Companique

✨ Intro Statement

I built a complete Shopify store for Companique, a New York-based brand, translating a fully designed Figma system into a bespoke Prestige theme implementation. The project combined pixel-accurate design-to-code execution, native theme customization, and AI-generated placeholder content to bring the store to a launch-ready state ahead of final photography and copy.

📄 Project Brief

Companique's brief began with a complete visual identity designed in Figma by John Bresciani, a respected designer based in Australia. The goal was to translate that design system faithfully into a live, high-performing Shopify store — building on the Prestige theme and extending it with custom sections so the final site matched the Figma specs pixel-for-pixel rather than settling for an off-the-shelf look. With final product photography and brand copy still in production, the build also needed realistic AI-generated placeholder content so stakeholders could review a near-final store ahead of launch.

🎯 Goals & Strategy Overview The project needed to bridge the gap between a polished Figma design system and a fully functional Shopify storefront without losing visual fidelity or performance along the way.

Main Goals:

• Faithful Design Implementation – Translate John Bresciani's Figma design into pixel-accurate Shopify theme code, matching spacing, typography, and layout details exactly.

• Extend the Prestige Theme – Build custom sections and blocks on top of Prestige to support Companique's specific page layouts and components.

• Populate with AI Placeholder Content – Generate realistic AI copy and imagery so every page felt complete ahead of final brand assets.

• Deliver a Launch-Ready Store – Configure the store end-to-end so Companique could move straight to go-live once real content lands.

🔍 Project Review Design Fidelity Meets Native Theme Code I worked directly from John Bresciani's Figma files, rebuilding each section as custom Prestige theme blocks rather than relying on generic presets. The result is a storefront that reads as a fully bespoke build while retaining the speed and reliability of a proven theme foundation, giving Companique a polished, on-brand presence for the New York market and beyond.

🔧 Project Development Breakdown From Design System to Shopify Sections

Phase 1: Store Foundation & Theme Setup

• Set up the Companique Shopify store and installed the Prestige theme as the foundation.

• Configured store settings, navigation, and structure to match the approved sitemap.

Phase 2: Figma-to-Code Implementation

• Rebuilt every Figma page and component as custom Liquid sections and blocks, matching John Bresciani's specs for typography, spacing, and color.

• Extended Prestige's native section library with bespoke, reusable custom sections.

Phase 3: AI Placeholder Content

• Generated on-brand AI placeholder copy and imagery across product, collection, and page templates.

• Structured content blocks so real photography and copywriting can drop in later with no rebuild.

Phase 4: QA & Launch Preparation

• Cross-checked every section against the Figma source for pixel accuracy across breakpoints.

• Performed responsive and cross-browser QA ahead of handoff.

📈 Project Outcome A fully custom Shopify storefront that mirrors Companique's Figma design system down to the smallest detail. By extending the Prestige theme natively rather than forcing the design into off-the-shelf sections, Companique now has a store that looks and feels bespoke, loads fast, and is fully structured for a smooth swap-in of final photography and copy at launch.

📊 Key Stats (Exact performance metrics pending post-launch data)

• 100% Figma design fidelity across custom sections

• Sitewide AI-generated placeholder content

• New York brand, launch-ready storefront

✅ Key Results

• Delivered a pixel-accurate translation of Companique's Figma design into a live Shopify store.

• Extended the Prestige Theme with bespoke custom sections built to spec.

• Generated AI Placeholder Content across the entire storefront ahead of final assets.

• Collaborated closely with designer John Bresciani to preserve full design intent.

💼 Business Impact The build gives Companique a storefront that matches its brand vision exactly, with no compromise between design ambition and Shopify's native performance. Because the theme was extended rather than forced, future updates stay simple, and the AI-generated placeholder content means the team can review, approve, and launch the moment final photography and copy are ready.
