Understand Design System
Build the structure into company
Sell it to Stakeholders
WHAT MAKES DESIGN SYSTEM,
A DESIGN SYSTEM
A shared language between design and code is essential. Semantics is the key for everyone to speak the same.

Our objective was to design and establish our language.
Variables should follow the language.
When someone says ”
apple” everyone can imagine the same.
As well, as when someone specifies ”
Green Apple".

But,
How convince Stakeholders?
I evaluate all costs of open tickets related to token adjustments. We then compare this cost to building new components. Simple math.
Kore DS offered more affordable hours and had a solid roadmap to scale the operation.
Do more, with less effort.

IT'S NICE TO
LOOK BEYOND DESIGN RULES,

Product design is about forgetting what we know in order to learn again.
