Design systems
One source of truth for product and marketing surfaces.
What this engagement answers.
Design systems are an operations problem before they are a CSS problem. We audit what exists, define the tokens and components that matter, document the decisions, and build the adoption path so the system survives its first quarter.
Included
Deliverables in a typical engagement.
- Inventory and audit of existing UI
- Token architecture (colour, type, space, motion)
- Component library with states
- Documentation site or pages
- Contribution and versioning rules
- Adoption workshops
- Migration plan for legacy screens
- Measurement: coverage and drift report
Outcomes
What you should be able to say afterwards.

Questions
Common questions about this service.
Details
Do we need a dedicated team?
A maintainer is required; a team is optional. The adoption plan names the owner.
Which tools do you use?
Whatever the team already ships in – Figma plus your front-end stack; the tokens are tool-neutral.
Will it replace our UI library?
Usually no – we map and extend what exists rather than starting over.
How do you prove adoption?
Coverage per surface, drift reports, and contribution activity – agreed up front.
