Teams shipping with AI tools generate screens faster than anyone can keep them coherent. Forty screens, each plausible on its own, none of them agreeing on spacing, states, or terminology. A design system is what stops that: the constraint layer your tools generate against.
I keep yours healthy and enforceable: component upkeep and consolidation, token and layout consistency, library cleanup and organization, and documentation structured so both your team and your coding agents follow the same rules. Recent work includes rebuilding a design system for an enterprise backup software suite, tokens through components and states, scaled across light and dark modes and Japanese localization.
Works best as an ongoing monthly engagement so the system stays maintained instead of being rescued twice a year.
$650 covers roughly 10 hours a month. Message me for larger systems.
