Service · Design Systems & Tokens
When your design system reaches its limits.
I develop new design systems, audit existing ones and prepare them for use across additional teams and products. This includes components, design tokens, Storybook and a structured handoff to engineering (dev handoff) through to front-end implementation.
Is this for you?
- Components in Figma and in code are drifting apart
- Teams build around the system because it's faster
- New brands or products need to run on the same system (multi-brand)
- AI tools are supposed to build with your system but guess colors and spacing
- Accessibility to WCAG has to be demonstrable (BFSG, the German Accessibility Act)
StanceWhether a design system works shows in how naturally teams use it. That is why I design components, tokens and documentation so that using them is the easiest path.
What you get
- A component library and design tokens that mean the same thing in Figma and in code
- Design tokens in the W3C format (DTCG), connected to Figma Variables or Tokens Studio
- Documentation that enables people and AI tools to work reliably within the system
- DesignOps: processes and tools that let design and engineering work on the same system
- A handoff that ensures your team can continue the system independently

How we get started
Recommended start
“We see problems but can't yet pinpoint where they are.”
Design system audit
I review Figma, code and documentation, talk to the team and check the current state against WCAG.
- Result
- Findings and a prioritized plan
- Billing
- Fixed fee
“The system needs to be built and used in production.”
Build and implementation
I build components, tokens and Storybook and hand them off to engineering, alongside your team or as part of it.
- Result
- A system that is used in production
- Billing
- Time and materials or per milestone
“It should keep growing without drifting apart.”
Ongoing support
I add new components, maintain the system, conduct reviews and coordinate with the teams.
- Result
- Continuous evolution within a set scope
- Billing
- Monthly
