What is a Design System?

It's a collection of reusable components, guided by clear standards, that can be assembled together to build any number of applications.

Tech companies are heavily invested in Design Systems because of how effective they are to teams and products.

So what are the benefits?

Efficiency - Instead of repeatedly building similar components from scratch, Design Systems enable designers & developers to reuse components which increases efficiency.

Consistency - Design Systems introduce a shared set of principles and rules to build components. It becomes much easier to create consistent experiences across different platforms.

Scale - Increased efficiency and consistency lead a company to build faster products at scale.
