Design Systems That Actually Work
Most design systems fail because they're built for designers, not for the whole team. Here's how we build systems that stick.
We've seen it dozens of times: a team spends months building a beautiful design system in Figma, only for developers to ignore it and build components from scratch. The problem isn't discipline — it's alignment.
Start With Code, Not Figma
Counterintuitive? Maybe. But the best design systems we've built started with coded components that were then documented in Figma — not the other way around.
Tokens Over Styles
Design tokens are the bridge between design and code. Colors, spacing, typography — all defined in a single source of truth that feeds both Figma and your codebase.
Adoption Is Everything
A design system nobody uses is worse than no design system at all. We focus on developer experience first: clear APIs, great docs, copy-paste examples.
