Balancing Consistency in Design

The speaker discusses the importance of maintaining consistency in design by keeping different tools and channels in sync, such as Figma and Condor. They emphasize the meticulous attention to detail when adding new dialogues or components to ensure consistent language and design concepts. The speaker differentiates between a design toolkit and a design system, highlighting that they have focused more on creating a design toolkit for lighter weight components for consistency. This approach deviates from the traditional definition of a design system, which is typically associated with larger companies. The speaker argues for a more practical and agile approach to design tooling, focusing on component reuse and building more quickly instead of a heavy investment in a comprehensive design system. They stress the need for designers to adapt their processes based on the scale and requirements of the project, avoiding unnecessary complexity. This practical approach aligns with the speaker's belief that smaller companies benefit more from a design toolkit rather than a formal design system.
