Design System & UI Components Library: Improving Design Consistency Across 20+ Projects

With each new project or phase, I found myself beginning from the scratch, necessitating the establishment of a fresh components library each time. Consequently, I consistently found myself redesigning identical components, with their style varying each time to accommodate different functionalities.

• A unified resource for accessing components, patterns, and designs.
• Enables the redesign and scalable management of updates for projects within the design system.
• Design efforts can shift from minor visual adjustments to tackling more intricate issues and solutions, maintaining both visual and functional consistency across projects.
• Facilitates rapid design replication using pre-designed components and elements.
• Minimizes redundancy and the risk of inconsistencies.
• Decreases lost time in design and development due to misunderstandings.

• UI Components: Reusable visual elements like buttons, input fields, toggles, dropdowns, and navigation bars that ensure a consistent look and feel.
• Design Patterns: Documented best practices for layout, navigation, and complex user interactions that guide the creation of coherent user experiences.
• Typography: Defined styles for headings, body text, captions, and other textual content that establish hierarchy and readability.
• Color Palette: A curated selection of colors used for UI elements, text, backgrounds, and accents to maintain visual harmony and brand identity.
• Icons and Graphics: A set of scalable icons and graphic elements that complement the visual language of the interface.
• Spacing and Layout Guidelines: Standardized spacing rules and grid systems to ensure consistent alignment and organization of components.
• Interaction States: Specifications for hover, active, disabled, and focus states of components to enhance usability.
• A nice menu to navigate through the Design System Figma file.
