Definition
A design system is a complete set of standards intended to manage design at scale ****
using reusable components and patterns.
Benefits
- Standards encompass both design and development. Prototype faster & iterate more quickly [Eng]
- Standardizing things like naming conventions, accessibility requirements, and file structure will help teams work consistently and prevent errors. Spend less
time focused on style but on user*.* [Design]
- Creating a brand aligned and consistent user experience: a more predictable and easy to understand application. [User]
- The primary benefit of design systems is their ability to replicate designs quickly by utilizing premade UI components and elements. Teams can continue to use the same elements over and over, reducing the need to reinvent the wheel and thus risking unintended inconsistency.
