What is a design system?
A design system is a collection of guidelines, principles, and components that is used to create a consistent visual language and user experience across multiple products or platforms. It provides designers and developers with a framework to work within, ensuring that each element of a product is cohesive and aligned with the overall brand and user needs. A design system typically includes things such as typography, color palettes, iconography, spacing, and layouts, as well as patterns and templates for frequently used UI elements. By using a design system, teams can reduce design and development time, improve collaboration, and create better, more user-friendly products. Additionally, design systems can help maintain brand identity and increase brand recognition since the visual language is consistent across all products and platforms.
