Design systems fail when they're treated as component libraries — a Figma file with buttons and cards. Real design systems are infrastructure: shared language, documented patterns, engineering-integrated tokens, and governance that keeps them alive. I build systems that hold up at scale, not just at launch.

Who This Is For

Product teams with:
3+ designers working in parallel
Inconsistency creeping into the product
Engineers rebuilding similar UI repeatedly
A broken or half-built design system
Plans to scale from 50 screens to 500

Proven At Scale

Design systems I've built or rebuilt include:
RedCloud — Multi-role B2B marketplace and fintech infrastructure
Turntide — Cross-platform system for hardware + software electrification
SellerLegend — Data-heavy analytics platform system
Shopdot — Commerce infrastructure design system
Manafa Capital — Fintech investment platform system

What's Included

Complete component library
Design tokens (typography, color, spacing, elevation, motion)
Pattern library for complex workflows
Full documentation (written + visual)
Figma file structured for engineering
Accessibility and dark mode built in
Governance and maintenance guidelines

Process

Week 1: Audit existing product, identify patterns and inconsistencies Week 2: Token architecture, foundation setup Week 3–4: Core component library Week 5–6: Pattern library for complex workflows Week 7: Documentation and engineering integration Week 8: Handoff, training, maintenance setup
Typical engagement: 6–10 weeks

What's NOT Included

Frontend component development
Storybook or component explorer build
Ongoing system maintenance (available as retainer)

Investment

$50/hour Typical projects: 6–10 weeks, 120–200 hours Minimum engagement: 60 hours
