Your design system agency specialised in B2B SaaS
Our design system services run from assessment to build to governance: AI-ready, accessibility-first systems that give teams their time back.

Most design systems don’t fail from bad design, they fail from neglect.
Teams move fast, documentation decays, and UI inconsistency creeps back in. Design and engineering start speaking different dialects again.
We fix that by treating design systems as infrastructure. Built, governed, and maintained like any other critical product system.
Three phases. One system.
Assessment
Over 2 weeks, we assess your current component landscape (Figma libraries, code components, token structure, documentation, and governance). We identify gaps between what’s designed and what’s built.
Deliverable: Assessment report with component inventory, gap analysis, and implementation roadmap.
Build
Over 6–10 weeks, we build your component library in your framework, implement your token architecture, and create the documentation layer. We work embedded with your engineering team (same repos, same standups, same definition of done).
Deliverable: Production-ready component library, token system, and developer documentation.
Govern
We help your team adopt the system, train developers on contribution workflows, and establish governance so the system improves over time instead of decaying. Our partners stay with us for 18 months on average, often as a design partnership.
Deliverable: Contribution guidelines, onboarding documentation, and governance framework.
What every EDL design system includes
All systems are AI-ready, integrating with automation tools for documentation, token updates, and audit tracking.
Coded component library
Production-ready UI components built in your front-end framework. React, Angular, Vue, or web components. We work in your stack, not ours.
Documentation site
Bridge the gap between design and engineering. We create clear, accessible documentation that reflects how your system works (and how to use it).
Governance model
Define how your design system scales. We help you establish rules, workflows and ownership to keep quality high and decision-making clear.
Token architecture
A structured token system for colour, typography, spacing, elevation, and motion. Designed for theming, multi-brand support, and cross-platform consistency.
Design-to-code pipeline
The workflow that connects design decisions to production code. Figma variables synced to tokens. Component APIs that match design props.
System roadmap
Turn your design system into a product. We help you prioritise, plan and align on what to build next (and why it matters).
Start with our design system assessment.
You’ll walk away with clarity, working components, and a plan to scale without chaos.
Outcomes from our focused 2 week engagement
Audit your current system setup and pain points
Deliver a working system slice and governance proposal
Define measurable KPIs (e.g., adoption, QA time, release speed)
“We finally stopped rebuilding the same things and started shipping faster.”

Software engineer
Design system specialists, not deliverable vendors
Every AI-ready design system is built by a small, senior triad. Project Lead, design system architect, and design system engineer. Ensuring every decision survives beyond Figma.

If design velocity or consistency is holding your product back, let’s talk about it. No sales team, no pitch deck. You'll be talking to me.
Frequently asked questions
What's included in a design system assessment?
A 2-week engagement that includes technical architecture definition, design token and component mapping, and a working system slice (e.g., a live Storybook preview with 2-3 core components or automated token output in JSON). This is ideal for teams validating new system direction or rebuilding a broken one. We deliver concrete artifacts you can review and integrate immediately.
How does spec data enable code automation?
We structure design tokens, component variants, and props into machine-readable formats (JSON schema, TypeScript definitions) that plug directly into your build pipelines and dev tools. For example, design tokens auto-sync between Figma and your codebase, and component specs generate TypeScript types and Storybook documentation. This reduces manual handoff and dev time by up to 50%.
How do you collaborate with engineering teams?
We meet with engineers weekly through pair programming sessions, technical reviews, and shared Slack channels. We define shared terminology early, align on tools and file structures (React, Vue, Angular, Storybook), and ensure nothing is handed off without engineering sign-off. Our process is designed to embed with your existing sprint cycles.
How long does a typical project take?
2-3 months for most enterprise design systems. That's from initial architecture to automation setup to rollout support. We work in phases so you start seeing adoption and value within the first 3 weeks. Larger, multi-product systems may extend to 12 weeks depending on complexity and team size.
What tech stacks do you support?
We build design systems for React, Vue, Angular, and web components. Our token architecture works with CSS variables, Sass, Tailwind, and design token tools like Style Dictionary. We integrate with Figma, Storybook, TypeScript, and popular CI/CD pipelines. If your stack is custom, we adapt. Our approach is framework-agnostic at the architecture level.
How do you ensure design system adoption after launch?
We don't just hand off a library. We train your team, create governance playbooks, and set up metrics tracking. We run workshops for designers and engineers, establish contribution guidelines, and define versioning strategies. Our goal is to make the system self-sustaining within your team culture.
