A design system consists of reusable components, guidelines, and assets that create cohesive and consistent designs across a product or organization. Through this process, the design process is streamlined, the user experience is enhanced, and the brand identity is strengthened. Having all these things creates a sense of high quality and preserves a business’ competitive edge.
