About this service

Summary

I will audited your apps and potentially existing design system. Then I will set your team up for success from design to code to increase your ability to ship with velocity.

What's included

  • Application(s) audit & component plan

    I will run through your apps, and audit for: - Design inconsistencies - Developer experience pain points - Client/Server and rendering bugs Then I will create a prioritized plan of attack to correct the issues the audit surfaces.

  • Figma component library

    A 1:1 parity with code, Figma component library using the latest techniques such as components, auto-layout, variables, text styles, and a cleanly documented file with all variants.

  • Published custom NPM package

    Your code design system as a custom package to be used across any app and/or platform your company expands to. I will set up the full CI/CD pipeline and document publishing changes.

  • Documentation site

    Either using Storybook or a custom documentation page, I will document every component, common use cases and provide a playground in which all stakeholders can familiarize themselves with the interactions and capabilities of a component.

  • Visual regression testing

    Using Chromatic and Storybook, I'll set up a visual testing suite for your design system to make sure no bugs make it through the foundational layer of your application.

  • Custom Figma-to-code workflow

    I will publish a custom Figma plugin and setup Figma code snippets to allow your engineers to copy directly from Figma and focus immediately on business logic.

  • Generative(ai) UI tool with your Design System

    If you want to use modern tooling like https://v0.dev/ and https://www.magicpatterns.com/ a design system basis and configuration is key. I will set up a configured environment for your team to design with AI, and output code in your design system components.

  • Synchronized tokens

    For teams that either iterate and tweak variables often or have several teams that need to be aligned under the same design tokens - let me set up a system such as https://specifyapp.com/ to synchronize these.

  • Component usage analytics

    For the longevity of your system, it's great to know which of your components are or are not being used and same for their properties. This is setup in CI/CD and can be delivered in many report formats such as a GitHub check or slack bot.

  • Smart components

    For UI patterns that are heavily created such as popups, toasts, and forms — a customized configuration increases your velocity and developer satisfaction. For popups(alerts, dialogs, drawers, etc) and toasts I will create custom hooks for a consistent and easy implementation. For forms, I will integrate your choice of form validation library with your client of choice / typesafe library. A developer will be able to pass in the schema generated by Zod, the default values and the method — outputting a fully functional form. Customizations on a design and processing level will always be possible.
