Design system

The only design system all your teams will ask for

From creation to governance, from adoption to technical integration: we support our clients throughout the entire life of their design system.

The challenges we've identified

Most design systems don't die for lack of ambition. They die for lack of adoption. Every pixel decided twice, every component reinvented by every team, every redesign that starts from scratch: the symptoms are well known. The causes are rarely addressed.

  • The library exists. Without synchronised tokens, living documentation or a structured handoff, it stays invisible to the dev teams.

  • Without governance, contribution cycles or team training, the design system starts ageing from day one.

  • WCAG 2.2 standards treated as a fix at the end of the project, instead of being built in from the design stage.

  • Without a single source of truth, visual debt builds up sprint after sprint and updates become impossible.

  • Without token-driven foundations, every identity change means reworking every component by hand.

  • Without usage metrics or drift audits, there is no way to know whether the system is really used or where it fragments.

Four levels,
one trajectory

From audit to continuous evolution, via build and governance: the two pillars that make a design system a living, adopted and lasting product.

01

DS Audit & strategy

Diagnosis & roadmap

An x-ray of what exists, to build a design system on solid foundations, not on assumptions.

UI consistency audit and inventory of existing components, scoring and analysis of design-dev debt, WCAG 2.2 audit, gap analysis between Figma and the codebase, definition of the prioritised DS roadmap and the target governance model.

  • Siloed organisations
  • Redesign or rebranding projects
  • Multi-brand legacy with no common language

02

DS Build

Design, tokens & components

From Figma to code: synchronised tokens, delivered components, no pointless back-and-forth between design and dev.

Primitive, semantic and component tokens following the W3C DTCG standard (Tokens Studio, Style Dictionary), Figma Variables, Atomic Design library, coded and tested components, Storybook, Zeroheight, CI/CD integration and NPM publishing.

  • Teams ready to build a single source of truth
  • A full pipeline from Figma to code
  • Living documentation the teams actually use

03

DS governance & adoption

Processes & lasting adoption

A design system without governance is not a product. We put in place the system that keeps it alive.

Contribution and validation cycles, DS product management, community of practice, adoption metrics and drift audits, training plans and onboarding for designers and developers.

  • Existing DS, but insufficient adoption
  • Governance missing or unstructured
  • Evolution held back, maintainability in question

DS Run & evolution

Maintenance & continuous enrichment

A long-term partner, not a one-off supplier. We stay on after delivery.

Semantic versioning, functional evolutions, dark mode and multi-brand theming, responsive and breakpoints, multi-brand extension, progressive rebranding driven by tokens, AI integration and continuous steering of adoption.

  • Growing product teams
  • Progressive rebranding or multi-brand extension
  • Rollout to new channels or mobile platforms

What sets
us apart

We don't deliver a Figma file. We build a design system that works in production, that your teams adopt and that evolves with your ambitions.

  • We master the whole pipeline: W3C DTCG tokens, Tokens Studio, Style Dictionary, Storybook, CI/CD and NPM publishing. Every component designed in Figma lives in production.

  • Most design systems die for lack of governance. We build it with you from the build phase: roles, workflows, community of practice and contribution cycles built in from the start.

  • One design system, several brands. Rebranding an identity rolls out in hours through semantic tokens, without touching the components.

  • WCAG 2.2 AA built natively into the structure of tokens and components. Not an end-of-project audit, but an architecture decision from the start.

  • Assisted generation, automated compliance, faster theming and documentation: AI fits into the DS chain without replacing design judgement.

  • Evolutions, progressive rebranding, team training, office hours and continuous run: we stay long after the initial delivery.

A design system isn't a deliverable: it's a product that lives alongside the teams who use it. Our job is to lay solid foundations, from Figma to code, and then stay by their side so that adoption follows. That is what makes the difference between a simple component library and a real design system.

Our approach,
in five steps

We are not a supplier who delivers a Figma file or a Storybook and disappears. We are a partner who builds your design system as if it were our own, from scoping to adoption.

01

Alignment & scoping

Scoping, design and technical audit, prioritised backlog. Stakeholder alignment.

02

Foundations & governance

Token architecture defined, Figma Variables and Tokens Studio configured. Governance activated: roles, workflows, DS board.

03

Design & documentation

Core components tokenised in Figma, WCAG 2.2 AA shared libraries. Initial documentation created.

04

Implementation & CI/CD

Code integration with the Lead Front-end Dev. NPM library, Web Components, React and Vue guides.

05

Adoption & run

Team training, adoption on pilot projects. Continuous run: evolutions, office hours, handoff support.
