About this service

Summary

I strategically craft, update, or enhance your design system to optimize workflow efficiency and ensure consistency across your project. Whether your project is already underway, in progress, or starting from scratch, I develop its design system with meticulous attention to detail.
I componentize all elements
I create Local Styles
I establish Local Variables
I use strategic and organized naming
I provide a color style guide
I provide a typography style guide
I offer a button style guide
I offer 3 revisions
I replace all non-system components in the file with system components.
I offer friendly customer support.
I provide fast and reliable communication.

Process

For projects that are nearly completed with the design system pending
01 - Expectation Alignment and Scope Definition: In this stage, we will engage in a detailed discussion to align your expectations, review the file in which the design system will be implemented, and establish a deadline that meets your needs and requirements.
02 - Design System Kickoff and Structuring: In this phase, I will begin developing the design system by organizing the file's elements from micro to macro, establishing patterns, grouping them, and naming them strategically to ensure that they can be easily found within the search tool.
03 - Local variables Creation and Application (optional): In this phase, if requested, I will create the local variables and apply them to all elements of the design system.
04 - Local Styles Creation and Application (optional): In this phase, I will establish the font hierarchy and scale if they do not yet exist, add colors to the local styles, and, if necessary, create their variants. Additionally, I will standardize and incorporate effects and grids used in the elements into the local styles, applying them consistently to the design system.
05 - Review: In this phase, we will gather and review the file to ensure that everything is aligned with the agreed-upon plan. This is the appropriate time to request any necessary changes.
06 - Implementation: In this phase, with the design system finalized and reviewed, I will implement all elements, styles, and variables into the designs of the file, ensuring that everything is componentized and standardized in a strategic manner to facilitate component searching, editing, and development.
07 - Final Review: In this phase, we will conduct a detailed review of the file to ensure that everything has been correctly implemented and that the design is finalized according to expectations. Any additional adjustments needed should be requested at this stage to ensure the final product is complete and meets the desired standards.
08 - Handoff: In this phase, we will complete the delivery of the design system and related files. I will be available to address any questions and provide additional support to ensure the correct integration of the design and alignment with all stakeholders.
For ongoing projects
01 - Project Analysis and Understanding: At this stage, I will conduct a kickoff meeting to understand the project objectives, scope, and requirements for the design system. This will help us define the scope of work and schedule, ensuring that all needs and expectations are aligned.
02 - Evaluation of Existing Elements: At this stage, we will conduct a detailed review of the design elements that have already been created to assess their integration with the design system. We will document existing patterns and components, identifying items that require adjustments or refinements. The goal is to ensure that all current elements are ready for integration into the design system.
03 - Design System Creation: At this phase, I will begin developing the design system based on the project scope. I will create all necessary components, styles, and variables, organizing them to ensure a flexible design system that can accommodate new elements as they are developed.
04 - Gradual Implementation: At this point, I will apply the design system to existing elements and collaborate with the team to integrate the guidelines into new components as they are developed.
05 - Review and Adjustments: Throughout the project, I will conduct periodic reviews to ensure that everything is being followed correctly. I will assess what has already been created, making adjustments and refinements as necessary.
06 - Final review and handoff: In this phase, I will conduct a detailed review of the file to ensure that everything has been correctly implemented and that the design is finalized according to expectations. Any additional adjustments needed should be requested at this stage to ensure the final product is complete and meets the desired standards.
Once everything is prepared and reviewed, we will carefully manage the final handoff to the development team to ensure the design system is implemented effectively.
For starting Projects
01 - Initial Consultation and Requirements Gathering: In this phase, I will conduct an initial meeting to understand the project's goals, scope, and requirements for the design system. We will discuss the project's vision, objectives, and expected outcomes to establish a clear understanding of the design system's role and its integration into the project.
02 - Design System Planning and Strategy: During this phase, I will develop a comprehensive plan and strategy for the design system. This involves defining the design principles, component library, style guidelines, and any specific requirements based on the project’s goals.
03 - Creation of Initial Design Elements: In this stage, I will begin creating the initial design elements and components based on the design system plan. This includes defining typography, color schemes, and basic UI components. These elements will serve as the foundation for the design system and will be refined as the project progresses.
04 - Iterative Development and Integration: As the project progresses, I will iteratively develop and integrate the design system with ongoing work. This involves applying the design system to new and existing components, ensuring consistency and adherence to the established guidelines. Collaboration with the development team will be essential to ensure seamless integration.
05 - Continuous Review and Feedback: As the project progresses, I will conduct regular reviews and gather feedback to assess the effectiveness of the design system. We will make necessary adjustments based on feedback from stakeholders and the development team to refine and enhance the design system throughout the project.
06 - Final review and handoff: In this phase, I will conduct a detailed review of the file to ensure that everything has been correctly implemented and that the design is finalized according to expectations. Any additional adjustments needed should be requested at this stage to ensure the final product is complete and meets the desired standards.
Once everything is prepared and reviewed, I will carefully manage the final handoff to the development team to ensure the design system is implemented effectively.
