Summary
FAQs
What's the difference between a design system and a component library?
A component library is a collection of reusable UI elements (buttons, cards, etc.). A design system includes those components plus the foundational design language - tokens, principles, guidelines, and documentation that govern how everything works together.
Do I need a design system if I'm just starting out?
If you're building an MVP with plans to grow, yes. A lightweight Starter System prevents design debt early and saves you from costly redesigns later. If you're a one-page website with no plans to scale, you probably don't need one.
Will my developers be able to use this?
Absolutely. I structure Figma files with developer-friendly naming, export-ready tokens, and clear specs. I can also provide design token exports (JSON, CSS variables) if your team uses tools like Style Dictionary or Tailwind.
Can you implement the entire design system in Webflow or Framer?
I offer optional no-code builds for key pages or components, not full design system implementation. Full development is best handled by your dev team or a dedicated Webflow/Framer specialist. I focus on design systems first, with execution support as an add-on.
How do I maintain the design system after you deliver it?
I provide documentation and best practices for updates. You can maintain it in-house, or I offer ongoing retainer support for updates, new components, and system governance.
What if my brand or product changes after the system is built?
Design systems are living tools. I structure them to be flexible and scalable. If your brand evolves, tokens (colors, fonts, spacing) can be updated globally without rebuilding every component.
Do you work with existing design files or start from scratch?
Both. I can audit and systematize existing Figma files or start fresh if your current setup is too inconsistent to salvage.
What if I only need a few components, not a full system?
That works. The Starter tier is flexible and can focus on specific components. However, I always recommend at least establishing foundational tokens (colors, type, spacing) so future components stay consistent.
Can you design for mobile apps, not just websites?
Yes. I design responsive systems that work across web, iOS, and Android. Component specs adapt to platform-specific conventions when needed.
What's included in the "team training" option?
A live session (online) where I walk your team through the system structure, how to use components, best practices for updates, and how to maintain consistency as you scale.
What's included
Figma Design System File
A fully organized, multi-page Figma file containing your complete component library with logical layer structure, intuitive naming conventions, and easy navigation for designers and developers.
Design Tokens & Foundation System
Typography scales, color palettes, spacing systems, elevation styles, border radius values, and grid structures—all documented as reusable tokens that ensure consistency across every component.
Reusable UI Component Library
A comprehensive collection of production-ready components including buttons, form inputs, cards, navigation elements, modals, dropdowns, badges, and more - each built with variants and auto-layout for flexibility.
Component Variants & States
Multiple states for every component (default, hover, active, focused, disabled, loading, error, success) ensuring your design system handles real-world user interactions.
Responsive Behavior Documentation
Clear annotations and breakpoint specifications showing how components adapt across mobile, tablet, and desktop viewports with pixel-perfect precision.
Style Guide & Usage Guidelines
Embedded documentation within Figma explaining when and how to use each component, spacing rules, typography hierarchy, color application, and design principles.
Developer Handoff
Export-ready design specs including spacing measurements, color values (HEX/RGB), typography CSS properties, and component structure notes for seamless engineering implementation.
Accessibility Annotations
WCAG compliance notes including color contrast ratios, keyboard navigation specs, ARIA labels, focus state indicators, and screen reader considerations for inclusive design.
Brand Application Examples
Real-world mockups showing your components in action across common page templates, demonstrating how the system maintains brand consistency at scale.
Component Implementation in Webflow/Framer (Optional)
Your design system components translated into fully functional, production-ready elements within Webflow or Framer with pixel-perfect accuracy and clean code structure.
