I'm setting up a component library and I'm wondering where I should build in prototype interactions (on-hover, on-click, etc).

Since Figma doesn't handle boolean properties with prototypes very well (example: a button label with or without an icon) I'm wondering if I should fully build out component sets with each element that would otherwise be set as a boolean set up as its own variant and interactions set up between each variant property. I know this is how component sets had to get built before variables and applying booleans to elements was introduced ~2023 but would it be better now to have the core library in the design system fully expanded and prototyped, or set up such that project teams will have to set up the interactions themselves?

I started a new role as a UX/UI designer at a medtech company last month and the role will involve up to 15% travel. I'm going on a 2 day work trip later this month and realized I don't have a good professional backpack!

Previously I had an Incase Icon backpack which was fantastic for commuting and has a nice low profile while holding a lot of stuff, but once I became unemployed I gave it to my spouse and they're loving it so I can't take it back. And it looks like that model isn't readily available anymore anyway.

So I'm wondering what gals here might suggest! My budget isn't the greatest at the moment since I just started, so I'm hoping for something under $300, can hold a 16" laptop and a tablet and associated power cables, ideally a water bottle, and professional in appearance without being flashy.

Thanks in advance!
