A multi-tier design system — primitives, semantic tokens, variables, components, and explicit states and behavior — that turns workflow and product decisions into implementation rules for a multi-role enterprise platform.
How it works
Figma supported collaborative exploration and client iteration. The resolved system used semantic tokens for color and spacing, annotated component states, and workflow-aligned behavior; it was delivered as a versioned Storybook, the implementation contract frontend consumed. Tailwind, ShadCN, and Radix informed implementation alignment.
Results
· +35% increase in delivery velocity
· A versioned implementation contract across Product, Design, and Engineering
Figma for exploration; semantic tokens mapped 1:1 to code and a versioned Storybook gave Product, Design and Engineering a shared contract (+35% velocity).
