About this service

Summary

A well-structured design system can transform how your business builds digital products, ensuring cohesiveness and making the design process more efficient — It provides consistency across your brand and simplifies the design process, especially when working with a team. If you're finding it hard to keep your design cohesive or want to build a strong brand recognition through a solid design foundation, I can help! I'll create a customized library of reusable UI components in Figma, designed specifically to fit the needs of your product/service.

Process

✦ Discovery call: Let's start with a friendly chat to understand your vision and goals for your business and set up the design system pillars (foundation).
✦ Exploration: I’ll dive into your existing design, chat with your team, or explore similar products to gather insights and identify the necessary components.
✦ UI concepts: If we're building from scratch – I'll design 2-3 initial UI concepts to test and feel the design direction of your product.
✦ Design: Here's where all the magic happens. Creating your perfect design system.
✦ Testing & revision rounds: Designing a few mock screens to see the design system in action.
✦ Documentation: Creating detailed guidelines and usage instructions to help your team implement and maintain the design system effectively.
✦ Handoff: Transfer ownership to your team. We'll end the project with a meeting, where I'll guide you & your team through the file so you can utilize it independently.
