Design Systems

Design Systems

A design system is not a collection of screenshots. It is a working tool that lets a team produce consistent, high-quality interfaces without having to make the same decisions again and again. Most products that have been live for a year or two have the opposite: a collection of inconsistent patterns that have accumulated over time and that everyone is too busy to fix.

We build design systems in Figma using component-driven architecture. Everything is tokenised: colours, type styles, spacing, shadows. Components are built properly with variants, states, and auto-layout. The documentation explains what each component is for, when to use it, and what not to do with it.

A design system is only useful if the people who need it can actually use it. We build systems for the specific teams that will use them, not generic systems that look impressive in a demo. If you have a development team, we include token documentation in a format they can implement.
