Why Design Systems Matter

Design systems are more than just style guides. They're living documentation that bridges the gap between design and development. A good design system ensures consistency across products, speeds up development time, and creates a shared language between teams.

The best systems evolve with the product, not against it. They should feel like a helpful framework, not a rigid prison. When done right, they empower designers to focus on solving real problems instead of reinventing buttons for the hundredth time.
