Design System

Design systems basics and resources to help you build one.

What exactly is a design system?

A design system is the shared set of building blocks and rules that keep a product looking like itself. Colors, type, buttons, and patterns get named once, then reused, so teams stop reinventing the same pieces on every screen.

The point is speed at scale: you spend less time recreating elements, and more time shipping work that already agrees with the rest of the product.
