FAQs

• What is a design system, and why do I need one?

  A design system is a collection of reusable components, design guidelines, and standards that help create consistent user interfaces across products and platforms. It improves collaboration between design and development teams, ensures a cohesive user experience, and speeds up the design and development process.

• How long does it take to create a custom design system?

  The timeline depends on the complexity of your project and the scope of the system, but typically, a design system can be created within 4 to 8 weeks. This includes research, design, component creation, and documentation.

• What platforms or tools do you use for creating design systems?

  I exclusively use Figma to build design systems. Figma's collaborative features, flexibility, and ability to scale make it the ideal tool for designing and maintaining comprehensive design systems.

• Will the design system be scalable as my product grows?

  Yes! I create design systems with scalability in mind, ensuring the components and guidelines can evolve and adapt as your product or brand grows and new features are added.

• What is included in the design system?

  The design system will include a custom component library, design tokens (color palettes, typography, spacing, etc.), responsive guidelines, and thorough documentation. Optional training for your team on how to use and maintain the system is also available.

• Will developers be able to use the design system easily?

  Absolutely! I create developer-friendly components with detailed documentation and notes to ensure a smooth handoff between design and development teams.

• How is a design system different from a style guide?

  While a style guide focuses on brand visuals like colors, fonts, and logos, a design system includes not just the visual guidelines but also reusable UI components, design principles, and detailed documentation to ensure consistency across all digital products.
