Design Systems
A design system is a shared library of components and rules, in Figma and in code, so your team builds faster and your product stays consistent.

What this covers
As products grow, small inconsistencies multiply: five shades of gray, three button styles, forms that behave differently on every page. Each new feature takes longer because designers and developers redo decisions that should have been made once.
We start by auditing what you have, collecting every button, input, color, and spacing value in use, then consolidate them into a deliberate set. Design tokens define the basics like color, type, spacing, and radius. Components are built on those tokens in Figma and in code, with every state documented: hover, focus, disabled, error, loading.
We keep the system as small as it can be. A design system is only useful if people actually use it, and a library of 200 components nobody understands helps no one.
Is this right for you?
You'll get the most out of it if any of these sound familiar:
- Your product looks slightly different on every screen.
- Designers and developers disagree about what the 'right' component is.
- New features take longer than they should because everything is custom.
- You're scaling the team and need a shared foundation.
What you get
Included in a typical engagement:
- Audit of existing UI patterns
- Design tokens for color, type, spacing, and radius
- Figma component library with variants
- Coded component library (React)
- Accessibility checks for every component
- Usage documentation
How it works
A foundational design system usually takes 6 to 12 weeks.
Audit
We inventory every UI pattern currently in your product.
Foundations
Tokens for color, type, and spacing agreed with design and engineering.
Components
The most-used components first, in Figma and code together.
Adopt
Documentation, migration help, and a process for adding new components.
What affects the price
Every quote is fixed and written down before work starts. These are the things that move it:
- Number of components
- Figma only, or Figma and code
- Theming needs such as dark mode or multiple brands
- Migration of existing screens
Mistakes we plan around
The problems we see most often when this work is rushed:
- Building a huge library before the basics are agreed.
- Figma and code drifting apart.
- No owner, so the system stops being maintained.
Design Systems questions
Do we need a design system?
If you have more than a couple of designers or developers working on the same product, or the product has many screens, a design system usually saves time quickly.
Do you build the coded components too?
Yes. We build React components that match the Figma library, which is where most of the time savings come from.
Can you build on shadcn/ui or Material UI?
Yes. Starting from an established library and customizing it to your brand is often faster than building every component from scratch.
How do we keep the system up to date?
We set up a simple process: who can propose new components, how they're reviewed, and how changes are released.
Often paired with
