A design system is a collection of reusable components, guided by clear standards, that can be assembled together to build any number of applications. Building a design system from the ground up can be a very exciting challenge! Not only can they dramatically improve an organization’s ability to deliver products faster, more consistently, and more efficiently, they also free up designers and product teams to focus on more important work.
