Design System

A shared library of components, tokens, and guidelines so product teams ship consistent UI faster.

A design system is the single source of truth for how your product looks and behaves: color tokens, type scale, buttons, forms, patterns, and documentation.

Core pieces

  1. Design tokens — named values for color, space, radius, motion
  2. Components — reusable UI parts (button, input, modal)
  3. Guidelines — when and how to use each piece
  4. Documentation — Storybook, Figma libraries, or internal sites

Why teams adopt one

Without a system, every feature reinvents spacing and states. With a system, designers and engineers speak the same language, ship faster, and fix bugs in one place.

Beginner tip

Start small: document your primary button, text styles, and grays before documenting every edge case.
