How We Work

Design systems and standards bring consistency, efficiency, and clarity to digital product development, especially across complex organisations, joint programmes, or high-integrity environments. We build robust, scalable design systems that support both creativity and compliance, ensuring your teams deliver cohesive experiences at speed and scale.

1. Foundations & Audit

We begin with a comprehensive audit of your existing interfaces, visual assets, interaction patterns, and front-end code. This helps us understand what’s working, where inconsistencies lie, and how to align your UI/UX approach with operational or regulatory requirements.

2. Component Inventory & Rationalisation

We catalogue all current UI components, identify overlaps, and streamline variants. This step helps reduce design debt, eliminate duplication, and lay the groundwork for a modular and scalable system.

3. Standards Definition & Governance

We develop clear, practical design standards, from typography and spacing rules to interaction behaviours, accessibility compliance (e.g. WCAG, EN 301 549), and documentation practices. We also establish governance models so your system evolves without fragmenting over time.

4. Pattern Libraries & Component Kits

We create reusable pattern libraries and coded component kits using frameworks such as Figma, Storybook, or your preferred stack. These are tailored to your team’s workflows and development tools, allowing fast prototyping and reliable implementation.

5. Cross-Functional Collaboration

Design systems live at the intersection of design, engineering, and product management. We work closely with your teams to align on terminology, technical constraints, and handover processes, ensuring seamless collaboration and reducing rework.

6. Documentation & Training

A system is only as good as its adoption. We provide detailed usage documentation, design principles, and training to help your teams apply the system confidently, whether they’re designing a dashboard, building a new product, or onboarding a new team member.
