UI Design & Design Systems
Figma design systems and pixel-perfect UI that ship the same way they design.
01 What it is
UI Design & Design Systems: what it 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, color, 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 Who it's for
Who it is 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 a project runs with 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 color 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.
