FAQs

Look for a specialist who has experience with projects similar to yours. Check their past work to see if you like their style. Ask if they have case studies or examples showing how they improved design processes before.
Be clear about what you need the design system to do. List the components you want in it, like buttons or icons. Ask them how they plan to create these and how long it will take.
Very important! They need to know your brand colors, fonts, and overall look. This helps them make a design system that fits perfectly with your company's style.
Check if they use popular design tools, like Figma or Sketch. These tools help in creating and sharing designs easily. Make sure they are comfortable working with these tools.
Good communication helps in understanding your needs and making changes quickly. The specialist should update you regularly on the progress. This ensures the final product matches your expectations.
Set clear and realistic timelines for each part of the project. Discuss these dates before starting. Make sure there is some flexibility for unexpected changes.
Expect a complete set of design guidelines and assets. This includes things like color codes, icons, and typography. Make sure all files are organized so your team can use them easily.
Ask if they have experience working with your tech stack, like React or Angular. They should know how to make their designs work well with your technology. This ensures smooth integration into your existing systems.
Feedback is vital to make sure the project stays on track. Regularly review their work and give clear, honest feedback. This helps in refining the design system to meet your needs.
Look for someone who is open to collaboration and enjoys teamwork. They should be willing to meet with your team to discuss ideas. This ensures everyone is on the same page and can work together smoothly.
