What Are Design Systems?

If you’re new to the concept of design systems, consider them the linchpin that harmonizes your design assets and the final digital product—be it a website, application, or service. These systems are invaluable for managing the complexity and scale of large software ecosystems.

What Are Design Systems?

The Three Pillars of a Design System

Design Artifacts: Typically presented in a Figma file or equivalent.
End Products: Your digital platforms, such as websites or applications.
Component Library: The modular assets that bridge the design artifacts with the end product.
