Résumé

A design system is a powerful solution for streamlining design workflows and establishing consistency.

It also improves collaboration and communication by acting as a source of truth for all of your teams, including marketing, design, and development.

However, the benefits are only as good as your design system! It’s important to understand that a design system is more than a collection of assets or a library of patterns. Instead, it’s a carefully curated set of standards, style guides, and components used to unify a brand's experience.
