05 / Systems

A token-based library teams actually use.

We audit your UI, reconcile gaps, and ship a token-based library designers and engineers actually use.

Overview

What you actually get

Most design systems die because they live only in Figma, or only in code, and the two drift. We build a token-based system mirrored across both, so a color change happens once and the whole product follows.

You get a documented Figma library, a code mirror in React/Vue/Web Components, and Code Connect bindings so designers and engineers are finally looking at the same source of truth.

Build a system

What's included

Everything in the engagement

Token foundations

Color, type, spacing, radius — two-layer (primitive + semantic).

Component library

Figma components with variants, states and docs.

Code mirror

Tokens compiled to Tailwind/CSS vars; components in your framework.

Documentation

A usage site with examples, do's and don'ts.

Code Connect

Figma components bound to the real code snippets.

Light/dark modes

One token, two modes — no parallel libraries to maintain.

How it works

Brief to live in three moves

Brief & map

Async kickoff in a shared Slack channel. We define scope, users and edge cases before opening Figma.

Design + build

UI in Figma, code branching alongside. First working preview within the first week.

Ship + iterate

Daily deploys, weekly demo, unlimited revisions. Pause anytime once it's live.

Is it a fit?

Honest about when to hire us

Great fit if…

A team shipping a lot, fast, with UI drift
Design + eng arguing over specs
You want light/dark done properly
Scaling past one product surface

Probably not if…

A pre-product startup (build the product first)
A one-off marketing page
Teams without anyone to maintain it

Quick answers

How long until the team can use it?

Foundations + core components are usable in ~3 weeks; the full library and docs land by week six.

Will it work with our framework?

Yes — we mirror tokens to Tailwind/CSS vars and build components in React, Vue or Web Components.

What happens after handoff?

We document maintenance and can stay on a subscription to extend it as you ship.
