About this service

Summary

I'll create your team a scalable and easy to maintain design system with Figma's best practices using components, variables, styles auto layouts and other advanced tooling like dark and light modes. As an optional addon, I can also transform the designs into code with React so that your team can quickly start developing new features with consistent UI library. In short, you will get everything you need to start creating your own user interfaces with reusable building blocks and consistent branding which speeds us the product development on average 47% for developers and 33% for UI/UX designers.

Process

Step 1: Introduction call In the call we go through your team's needs and expectations and see if we are a good fit for each other.

Step 2: Define the style guide We will collect the existing branding material, colors, typefaces, styles etc for the basis of the design system. Step 3: Tokens The style guide will be transformed into reusable variables and styles in Figma while keeping also dev syntax in mind for easy communication. Step 4: Components The next step is to go through your UI and list the main reusable components. Each component will be created as Figma component compatible with variables, styles and modes. Step 5: Component implementation in code (optional) Upon request, you have an option to turn your Figma components into code directly and get unified documentation and playground of each document to ensure the critical handover phase from design to development will be as smooth as possible. Step 6: Ready to use! Your design and dev team will have a ready to use plug & play libraries that can be used in product development immediately.

What's included

Figma Design Library
Figma Design Library includes all main reusable components, styles, variables and mode set up with the best practices. The library will be ready to use immediately by all teams in your company to ensure consistent look & feel across your products.
React Code Library
Upon request, Figma Library can be implemented also in React Code which not only speeds up the design team but also closes the gap between design and development ensuring frontend team is able to ship new features fast. The design system component development is a specific area of frontend development, which requires understanding of reusable and extendable code in-depth. If you don't have a design system expert on your frontend, it's recommended to purchase the whole bundle from figma to code so you can focus on actual development of your product features faster using reusable components.
Documentation Site
There is a saying that if it's not documented, it does not exist. On design systems it is crucial to have an easy-to-access documentation platform where developers as well as designers can play around with the implemented components and share example usage across the team. My go to documentation tool is StoryBook with snapshot testing every stories are changed but I'm open to other platforms too if your team has other preferences.
