Introduction
An effective design system can radically transform your development productivity. According to the Design Systems Survey 2025, teams using a well-structured design system reduce their development time by 40% and decrease visual inconsistencies by 85%.

This guide walks you through step by step how to create a robust design system: from defining design tokens to implementing components, with concrete examples and best practices proven across 15+ client projects.
