Design System For A Live Product
From $18,000

8 weeks
A design system shaped around your product, your workflows and your codebase, not a generic component checklist dropped on top of them. Built for teams that ship while it is being built.You receive:• Audit of the current product and Figma library• Foundations: type, colour roles, spacing, layout, radius, elevation, motion• Variables and tokens across primitive, semantic and component levels, light and dark• Core component library: up to 60 components with variants and their required states• Up to 3 product areas, named in the scope document before we start• Naming and structure agreed with your engineers rather than invented in isolation• Usage guidance per delivered component: what it is for, when not to use it• Migration plan for up to 40 existing screens, ordered by cost of leaving them• Figma handoverTools: Figma, variables and modes. Tokens exported to CSS custom properties, Tailwind config, SwiftUI or a Style Dictionary feed on request.Week 1 audits what exists across the areas in scope: duplicates, detached instances, hardcoded values. Weeks 2 to 5 build foundations and core components. Weeks 6 to 8 cover the long tail, documentation and handover. Two rounds of refinement per phase.The most recent system I shipped supports a live coaching platform: 163 component sets and 1 043 variants. A second supports an enterprise legal tech product: 189 component sets.Component count refers to distinct components, not to their variants or states, which are included per component. Work beyond 60 components, 3 product areas or a 40-screen migration plan is quoted separately rather than absorbed. Code implementation is not included; token export to your format is.Not included: repairing a library that does not need rebuilding, and compact single-area systems with no migration. Both are smaller engagements, message me and I will quote them directly.
