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.
