About this service

Summary

A well-crafted design system is the backbone of scalable, consistent, and efficient product design. I help teams create or refine design systems that streamline workflows, ensure visual and UX consistency, and make collaboration between designers and developers seamless.
Whether you're building from scratch or organizing your existing components into something more cohesive, I’ll deliver a flexible and developer-friendly system tailored to your brand, product needs, and design workflow.

Process

1. Discovery & Audit
We’ll start with a deep dive into your product, current design practices, and goals. If you already have existing design files or styles, I’ll audit them and identify gaps or inconsistencies.
2. Foundation Setup
I’ll define or refine your design foundation — colors, typography, spacing, grid systems, and elevations — all structured and scalable.
3. Components Library
I’ll build a reusable, consistent, and well-named component library in Figma. Each component will be structured for efficiency, with variants and auto layout applied where relevant.
4. Documentation & Usage Guidelines
Clear documentation helps your team use the system confidently. I’ll create usage guidelines, dos and don’ts, and naming conventions.
5. Handoff & Onboarding Support
You’ll receive a fully organized Figma file with all styles and components, plus onboarding support for your team to make the most of it.

FAQs

  • Do I need to have a product already?

    Not necessarily! I can help you build a system from the ground up or organize an existing design file into a structured system.

  • Can this work for teams?

    Yes, this service is perfect for startups or design teams who want consistency across their products and collaboration.

  • What tools do you use?

    Figma is my go-to tool for creating and documenting design systems. If you're using something else, we can chat about alternatives.

  • Will this integrate with our developers' workflow?

    Definitely. I create systems that are developer-friendly and easy to translate into code. I can also collaborate directly with devs during the process.

  • Can I expand the system later?

    Absolutely. I design systems to grow with your product, and I can support your team in expanding it over time.
