The problem
Most design systems die in the same way: a beautiful Figma file the design team maintains alone, a component library the engineering team forks every quarter, and tokens that exist in three places with three different names.
The fix is mundane: one source of truth, generated into all the surfaces that need it. Tokens compile to CSS, iOS, Android, and Figma. Components ship in code first, with the Figma file generated from real usage.
Design as code, not as PDF.
How we set up a system you can actually evolve.
Token pipeline
Style Dictionary or Token Studio — colors, type, spacing, motion, radii, elevation. Compiles to CSS variables, JS, iOS, Android, Figma styles.
Component library
Headless primitives (Radix, React Aria) wrapped in your visual language. Polymorphic, accessible, themable.
Storybook + visual regression
Every variant documented and screenshot-tested. Changes need a designer’s thumbs-up before merge.
Theming + dark mode
Tokens scoped per theme, switchable at runtime. Brand variants without forks.
Accessibility baked in
WCAG 2.2 AA compliance per component. Keyboard, focus, ARIA tested in CI.
Adoption playbook
A migration plan, contribution guide, and changelog process — so the system survives your second hire.
What you get, shipped.
Concrete artifacts, not slide decks. Every engagement ends with these in your repo, your cloud, your hands.
Tokens repo
Style Dictionary pipeline, multi-platform exports, semantic-versioned releases.
Component library
Published as @your-org/ui to private npm. Tree-shakeable, typed, documented.
Storybook site
Hosted reference. Searchable, with usage examples and a11y notes per component.
Figma library
Auto-generated from tokens; components mirror code 1:1. Variants, properties, the lot.
Visual regression suite
Chromatic or Playwright snapshots. PRs comment with diffs before merge.
Adoption guide
Migration map for your existing surfaces, ordered by ROI.
Six to ten weeks, then it pays you back.
Audit
Inventory existing UI, define visual primitives, agree on the token namespace.
Foundations
Token pipeline, theming model, type ramp, color system. CI in place.
Components
Build the top 25 components your products actually use. Storybook, tests, docs.
Adopt
Migrate one real surface, write the playbook, train your team to contribute.
Tools we reach for, by default.
Not religious about any of these — we'll use what your team can maintain after we leave.
Other things we build.
Most engagements blend two or three of these. If you're not sure where your project fits, send us a brief and we'll suggest the right slice.
Web platforms
Marketing sites, dashboards, portals, content systems. Built for speed, accessibility, and edit-ability by your team.
Product engineering
SaaS, MVPs, internal tools — typed APIs, real-time data, auth, billing, observability.
AI integration
Search, drafting, agents, evals — practical LLM features that earn their place in the product.
One system. Every surface.
Tell us where your design and engineering are diverging — we’ll write you a plan to bring them back.
