Companies are building design systems to fight inconsistency and scale their design and development processes. But how do they do it? The curated articles below will help you understand design systems and how they work.

A design system is a collection of reusable design components. What makes it so popular among companies and teams these days is that design systems fight three major struggles in design and development:

  • efficiency
  • consistency
  • scalability

Design systems save time and money as teams can implement new products by reusing existing components and thus make the process more scalable. All the above result in creating a consistent end product that offers a seamless user experience regardless of the device or point of entry.

But, you might know all that already. What you don’t know is how to effectively design your very own design system, how to tackle more complex products while using the design system or even how to sell a design system at your company.

Nonetheless, it’s one thing to decide that it’s time to design your very own design system and another to actually get cracking. The articles below will offer you rounded knowledge about design systems and also give you valuable advice on how to create one from scratch.
