Could be a UIKit / Design System

Process

Design System Process
Phase 1: Audit + Strategy (1-2 weeks)
Goal: Diagnose what’s broken and define the North Star.
For new systems:
Audit competitor systems for patterns.
Map core user workflows (e.g., dashboards, AI config panels).
For migrations:
Inventory legacy components (Figma + code).
Flag “toxic” patterns (e.g., 17 button variants, inaccessible color combos). Deliverables:
📊 Priority Matrix: What to build first (high impact vs. low effort).
🎯 Token Strategy: Typography, color, spacing rules (built in Figma + Tokens Studio).
Phase 2: Core Component Build (2-8 weeks)
Goal: Create the foundation others can safely reuse.
Atomic Design Workflow:
Tokens: Define colors, spacing, typography and etc.
Atoms: Buttons, inputs, icons (auto-layout + variants) and etc.
Molecules: Search bars, data cards, nav bars and etc.
Organisms: Tables, dashboards, AI chat modules and etc.
Rules:
Enforce strict variant naming (dev-friendly).
Build dark/light mode toggles early. Deliverables:
🧩 Figma Library: Components with props/variants (e.g., type=primary, state=loading).
📝 Usage Guidelines: “When to use a dropdown vs. radio group” (Notion doc).
Phase 3: QA + Documentation (1-2 weeks)
Goal: Ensure devs don’t hate you.
Stress Tests:
Break components (e.g., 1000-character labels in buttons).
Test responsiveness (4K screens → mobile).
✅ QA Checklist: “How to test this table component.”
📚 Dev Docs: Version history, contribution rules (Notion).

FAQs

  • What tools do I use?

    Design: Figma (Variables, Dev Mode), Tokens Studio. Docs: Notion (living style guides) or your preference docs platform. Collaboration: Loom (async reviews), Slack (urgent fixes only) or your preference channels.

  • TL;DR

    Audit → 2. Build core → 3. Document No endless meetings – async check-ins, Bali-friendly hours. Let’s make your design system actually work. 🛠️

What's included

  • Atomic Component Libraries

    Modular building blocks (buttons, dashboards, data grids) that devs can mix/match without design debt.

  • Zero-Glossary Docs:

    Version-controlled in Storybook/Figmayo/ZeroHeight with usage rules even your busy devs will actually reference.

  • Tokenization

    Generate variants token for light/dark mode, accessibility, or white-labeling using Tokens Studio.
