FAQ
I have a few questions…
Check out the FAQ below to learn more before making a purchasing decision. Feel free to get in touch if you have any questions.
Who is this consulting service for?
This service is suitable for startups, scale-ups, and enterprise product teams. It is especially valuable for teams with an existing product that want to improve consistency and scalability.
Is the design system built from scratch?
It depends on the context. If an existing product or UI library exists, the system builds on top of it; otherwise, an MVP-level system can be created from scratch.
Is Figma required?
No, but Figma is recommended for most teams. The principles and system logic are tool-agnostic.
Are developers involved in the process?
Yes. Developer involvement is strongly recommended, especially for components, design tokens, and governance decisions.
Is this a one-time engagement?
No. Design systems are living products. Ongoing consulting or periodic reviews can be arranged if needed.
How long does the full engagement take?
Depending on scope, it typically ranges between 20–60 hours. An MVP system can be delivered in a shorter timeframe.
