Building Scalable Design Systems

Design systems are essential for maintaining consistency and scalability in modern product development. Let's explore how to build effective design systems.

What is a Design System?

A design system is a collection of reusable components, guided by clear standards, that can be assembled together to build any number of applications.

Key Components

Every design system should include:

• Color palette
• Typography scale
• Spacing system
• Component library
• Documentation

Building Your System

Start by defining your design tokens, then build components on top of them. This ensures consistency and makes updates easier.
