Overview

Built a comprehensive design system and component library for a SaaS company, cutting UI development time in half.

The Challenge

A 40-person engineering team was building UI inconsistently across 6 product areas. Designers and developers had no shared language, resulting in duplicated components, inconsistent spacing, and a fragmented user experience.

Our Solution

We audited the existing UI, identified 80+ unique components, and consolidated them into a unified design system. Figma tokens sync directly to a React component library published on npm. Storybook serves as the living documentation.

Key Features

80+ production-ready React components

Design tokens synced between Figma and code
