Design Systems — UI Design Roadmap
Turning consistent patterns into a shared, scalable source of truth
Steps in Design Systems
- What Is a Design System? — advanced · Style guides vs component libraries vs full design systems, and what problem each solves
- Atomic Design Methodology — advanced · Organizing components as atoms, molecules, organisms, templates and pages
- Building a Component Library — advanced · Turning individual UI components into a documented, reusable library
- Design Tokens — advanced · Naming and structuring color, spacing and type values so design and code stay in sync
- Documentation for Design Systems — advanced · Writing usage guidelines so a component is used correctly by people who didn't design it
- Maintaining & Scaling a Design System — advanced · Versioning, deprecating components and keeping a system alive as a product grows
