Reusable colors, typography and components that keep your product coherent as your team grows.
What a design system is
It's the set of rules and reusable pieces a product is built with: colors, typography, spacing, icons and components like buttons, forms or tables — documented and available in both design and code.
Signs you need one
If you recognize any of these, it's time to put things in order.
- There are five different shades of the same color in the app.
- Every new screen is designed from scratch.
- Design and development argue about how a button should look.
How to start
Take inventory of what already exists, choose one version of each component and document it. Start with the basics — color, typography, buttons and inputs — and grow from what your product actually uses.
