Our Process

To cover your specific circumstances, we are able to construct a custom plan based on these general consultancy stages.

Initial Assessment

We perform a detailed design system and process audit, assessing workflows, organizational structures, collaborations. We identify flaws and potential improvements in contribution and versioning processes, laying the groundwork for a tailored and effective solution.

Planning for Actions

We define scope, creating an action roadmap, and formulating an improved design system model. We establish upgraded workflow standards for every role, optimizing task management, allocation, and delegation processes. This phase is about turning insights into actionable strategies for an enhanced and efficient design system.

Building or Refactoring

We construct a new design system or refining an existing one. This involves building or enhancing revisited components and patterns, creating tokens and variables, and assisting in the development of the frontend playground. We focus on streamlining handovers, and testing and iterating processes based on role insights.

Documenting & Coaching

We meticulously document the foundations, components, guidelines, and special cases of the design system. Simultaneously, we onboard every role into the system through active education for the core team and periodic education for other connected teams. This ensures comprehensive documentation and seamless integration of the design system throughout your organization.

Handoff & Implementation Support

We actively ensure quality between UI patterns and coded patterns. We cover a range of component states and variations, addressing often-overlooked aspects such as edge cases, corner cases, and unique design system elements. Additionally, we incorporate valuable developer insights back into the system, ensuring a robust implementation support.

Governance & Maintenance

We oversee and manage the entire process and methodology, ensuring every role and workflow comply with established rules. We analyze decisions to prevent duplicates and introduce new elements, providing clear communication to every role through an informative changelog. This ensures the ongoing efficiency and relevance of your design system.
