Implementing a Design System for Scalability and Efficiency
Three years ago, the company AccuTech realized the need for a design system to systemize design and keep up with the volume of designs and apps they had. The heavy focus on UI patterns like buttons, grids, and form fields led to repetitive work for different product teams. The idea of a design system was introduced to streamline and systemize their design workflow. Collaboration between design and development was key to the success, with both teams understanding the benefits and working together to implement the system. Knapsack was a critical component, providing the platform and education needed for the design system's onboarding and success.
