UI Design & Design Systems
Figma design systems and pixel-perfect UI that ship the same way they design.
· Reviewed by senior engineers
01 What it is
What this service is
UI design is the surface — the screens users see and interact with. A design system is the engineering of that surface into a reusable, accessible, brand-consistent library — components, tokens, patterns, documentation — that lets a team ship consistent UI at scale.
Devinsta designs in Figma using a tokens-first approach (typography, colour, spacing, motion, radius), build component libraries that map 1:1 to the React/Swift/Kotlin implementation, and document everything (Zeroheight, Supernova, or just Figma + Notion).
02 What it's for
What it's for
You need UI design when the brand has outgrown its visual language and the product feels dated next to competitors. You need a design system when multiple designers, multiple engineers, or multiple products are diverging — every team building the same button slightly differently.
03 How to use it
How to engage devinsta
UI design projects run 4–12 weeks depending on surface area. Design systems run 6–14 weeks, longer if the system needs to cover web + iOS + Android simultaneously. We always pair with engineering — design and implementation happen on the same sprint cadence, not sequentially.
04 How to deploy
How we deploy it
Design systems ship as a Figma library plus a code package (Storybook + npm for web, SwiftUI / Compose libraries for mobile). Tokens are exported through Style Dictionary or Figma's variables → CSS / Swift / Kotlin so design changes propagate automatically.
We enforce the system in code review: a new ad-hoc button colour fails CI.

FAQ
Common questions
Figma or Sketch?
Figma. We have not started a new design system in Sketch since 2020 — Figma's variables, dev mode, and collaboration story are unmatched. We can migrate from Sketch as part of the engagement.
Do we need a design system?
Probably yes if you have two or more product teams, two or more designers, or two or more surfaces (web + iOS, for example). The investment pays back in design and engineering velocity within a quarter.
How do you handle accessibility?
Tokens encode accessible contrast ratios. Components are built and audited against WCAG 2.2 AA. Every change is automatically checked against the contrast and keyboard-navigation rules. The EU Accessibility Act (June 2025) is on our radar by default.
