About this service

Summary

Designers and developers are the users of the design system. Just like a software product, a design system needs to be tailored to its users! Building smart and lean components will save you countless hours and make designers’ and devs' lives easier!
I have had the pleasure of working with multiple companies to build and scale their design systems. I have the unique perspective of starting design systems from scratch as well as working with well established systems that needed to scale as the company grew.

What's included

  • Audit of current state

    Whether you're starting form scratch or have some of the basics, I will review everything to help build a comprehensive roadmap for which components to start with, generally referencing the atomic design method.

  • Digital brand style guide custom tailored for design system

    Review current brand guidelines to ensure colors and type styles are web-friendly. Final documentation will have best practices outlined and how-to's for communicating and working with developers to ensure best brand standards are implemented.

  • Build components for design system

    All components are built with variants, leveraging smart layouts to ensure ease of use across all design teams.

  • Optional: Tokenization and White Label

    Does your company have multiple brands and needs a universal design system? I can build your DS to leverage tokens or create a "white label" version to be used across all brands and style guidelines.

  • Developer collaboration and handoff

    Building a design system is one thing; but making sure it is ready to handoff to developers is an entirely different thing! I will collaborate with dev stakeholders during various check-ins to make sure all components are viable and then have a final hand off to dev with all notes and annotations completed in the Figma file.
