When every component is designed from scratch, consistency breaks down. When every developer implements UI independently, the visual language fragments. A design system solves both — one set of components, documented and reusable, in Figma and in your codebase.
What We Build
- Component audit of existing UI — Before building anything new, we catalogue what exists. Usually there are three versions of every button and six shades of blue. We get that down to one.
- Core token set — Color, typography, spacing, elevation. The design primitives that everything else is built from.
- Figma component library — A complete, organized Figma library your design team uses to build new features consistently.
- Rails ViewComponent library with CSS — The same components, implemented in your Rails app. Design and code in sync.
- Usage documentation — So your team knows when to use what, and the system doesn't drift the moment we're gone.
Good Fit
Products with three or more developers touching the UI. Teams that have grown past "the designer does all the components." Products where inconsistency is visibly hurting the user experience.
Not the Right Fit
Early-stage products still finding their core flows. If you're still figuring out what the product is, build the product first. A design system for a product that's still changing is expensive and premature. We'll tell you honestly if this isn't the right time.
