A design system is more than just a style guide; it's a collection of standards, guidelines, and reusable components that enable your team to design and develop products with consistency and efficiency.
Consistency Across Platforms
A unified design system ensures your brand looks and feels the same on every digital platform, enhancing user trust and recognition.
Improved Efficiency
Reusable components and standardised guidelines mean faster design and development cycles, reducing time-to-market for new features or products.
Scalability
As your business grows, your design system can easily adapt to new needs without requiring a complete overhaul.
Better Collaboration
A shared design language fosters better collaboration between designers, developers, and other stakeholders, leading to more cohesive and high-quality digital experiences.
A well-crafted design system is essential for maintaining brand consistency, enhancing user experience, and streamlining development processes.
Research and Discovery
We begin by understanding your brand, goals, business and user needs. This involves stakeholder interviews, user research, and a thorough audit of your existing design assets. Our goal is to uncover pain points and opportunities for improvement.
Component Library Development
Using tools like Figma and Storybook, we develop a comprehensive component library. These components are modular, reusable, and easy to implement, ensuring consistency across different platforms and projects.
Design Tokens
Design tokens are at the core of our design system development process. When a token is updated, the change is automatically reflected in Figma components, React components, and your live website or application.
Automated Tests
To ensure long-term stability and reliability, we incorporate automated component tests. These tests allow your team to confidently iterate on designs and features in the future without fear of breaking existing functionality.
Documentation and Guidelines
Clear, concise documentation is key to a successful design system. We provide detailed guidelines that cover everything from typography and color schemes to layout and interaction patterns. This ensures that your team can easily understand and apply the design system.
Training and Support
We offer training sessions to onboard your team with the new design system. This ensures that everyone, from designers to developers, understand how to use the system effectively. Our support continues post-launch to address any questions or updates needed.
We create scalable systems that can grow with your business. This means building with future updates in mind, making it easy to add new components or modify existing ones without disrupting your workflow.
Design Guidelines
Detailed instructions on typography, colour usage, layout, and interaction patterns. These guidelines ensure that all design decisions are consistent, scalable, and easy to follow, setting a strong foundation for design integrity across projects.
Figma Component Library
A library of design components made in Figma. These components streamline the design process, ensuring your digital assets remain consistent, accessible, and easy to adapt as your projects grow.
React Component Library
React component library, built to simplify development and maintain a consistent design across web applications. This allows for seamless integration with your existing tech stack and improved development speed.
Design Tokens
Design tokens are a set of variables that store visual design attributes like colours, fonts, spacing, and other style-related elements. Ours are stored in a GitHub repository, acting as the single source of truth.
