About this service

Summary

I create comprehensive Figma design systems with reusable components, complete typography and color frameworks, and developer-ready documentation that eliminates design inconsistencies across your product. My systematic approach ensures every component is built with proper variants and auto-layout, making it easy for your team to maintain design consistency while building faster. You'll receive a fully documented, implementation-ready design system that serves as the single source of truth for all your digital products.

Process

Discovery & Audit: Review your existing designs, brand guidelines, and product requirements to understand current design patterns and identify system needs.
System Architecture: Define the foundational elements including color tokens, typography scales, spacing units, and component hierarchy structure.
Component Creation: Build UI components in Figma with proper variants, auto-layout, and component properties for maximum flexibility and reusability.
Documentation & Organization: Create in-Figma documentation, organize the component library, and establish clear naming conventions for team adoption.
Testing & Refinement: Test components across different use cases, gather feedback, and refine the system based on real-world application scenarios.
Handoff & Training: Deliver the complete design system file with implementation guides and provide team onboarding to ensure successful adoption.

FAQs

  • How long does it take to complete the design system?

    The full design system takes 3-5 weeks to complete, depending on the complexity of your brand and the number of custom components required.

  • Can you work with our existing brand guidelines?

    Yes, I integrate your existing brand assets, colors, and typography into the design system while expanding them into a comprehensive component library.

  • What if we need additional components later?

    The design system is built to be easily expandable. I include 30 days of support for questions and minor additions, and additional components can be added as separate projects.

    The design system is built with flexibility in mind. Color tokens, typography, and spacing can be easily updated throughout the entire system thanks to Figma's component architecture.
