You know the saying - a strong foundation is essential for any lasting construction, be it physical or conceptual. Establishing a token architecture, sub-systems, foundational styles and a design language is key to set up a vision for a product that can be shared and understood across teams. A design system can also speed up any design process by a lot, especially when it comes to scaling.

When I started working at Quidco, there was no real design system in place. I started from building a component library for iOS and Android (my role was focused on app design at that time) and worked through to creating a visual language joining together interactive elements, layout, language and visual imagery. I later started working with the front-end team to establish a common naming (token) system which would allow to speed up the development process.
