01Start with foundations
Define your colours, typography, spacing and iconography as reusable tokens. These foundations ensure everything built on top feels part of one coherent product.
02Build reusable components
Buttons, inputs, cards and navigation should be designed and coded once, then reused everywhere. This consistency improves quality and dramatically speeds up new features.
03Document and maintain
A design system is only useful if the team knows how to use it. Clear documentation and shared ownership keep it alive as the product evolves.
