Building Blocks of a Scalable Design System
Scalability in design systems means the system can grow with the organization without breaking workflows.
The building blocks:
1. Design Tokens – Define reusable values like spacing, typography, and colors.
2. Atomic Components – Smallest functional parts (buttons, icons).
3. Compound Components – Combinations of atomic parts (forms, navigation bars).
4. Templates – Layout patterns for consistency.
5. Guidelines & Best Practices – Documented rules for developers and designers.
A scalable system adapts easily to new platforms (mobile, web, wearables) without needing to redesign everything.
