After working on several product

After working on several product interfaces, one thing kept showing up repeatedly: teams don't design the system behind the screens.
Buttons get recreated, spacing becomes inconsistent, and so on...
So I decided to explore a different approach.
I built Verdant, a modern design system focused on scalability, accessibility, and consistency.
It’s built around a structured foundation:
• Token-based color architecture
• Reusable UI components
• Light and dark theming
• Accessibility-aware patterns
• A documentation site to make the system usable across teams
The goal was to design the infrastructure that makes good design repeatable, not just a design system.
Verdant is still evolving, but the foundation is live.
Curious to hear from other designers and developers
