Design System for Scaling AI Startups

4‑week design system that gives your team 60% faster design and build cycles. € 4.999,00 Figma‑first.

Once you have a team, every missing button spec or one‑off screen becomes compound drag. The Design System for Startups turns your existing product into a structured, reusable component library – so designers and engineers stop guessing and start shipping on rails.

Who this is for

Ideal for teams who:

• Are Series A± with multiple designers/devs touching the product
• Keep rebuilding the same components and layouts from scratch
• See UI inconsistencies across features, platforms, or squads
• Want junior designers and external devs to ship without constant supervision

The problem (and cost)

Without a system, your product:

• Ships slower because every new feature is a mini redesign
• Feels inconsistent, which erodes user trust and increases support noise
• Depends on a few “design heroes” who become bottlenecks for every decision

You pay for this in velocity, bugs, onboarding time, and the inability to run parallel feature streams.

What you get

Design System for Startups – € 4.999,00 · 4 weeks · Reusable foundation

• Full UI audit of your live product to map design debt and existing patterns
• Design system strategy doc (principles, tokens, component architecture)
• 40+ Figma components: buttons, form fields, inputs, cards, modals, lists, nav, etc.
• Tokens for color, typography, spacing, radius, shadows, and states
• Developer handoff documentation with usage rules and edge‑case examples
• 1 live training session with your team to embed the workflow​

Everything lives in a single Figma library that can be attached to all product files.

Process (4 weeks)

Week 1 – Audit and Architecture

• Deep audit of current product screens and flows
• Identification of core patterns and breaking inconsistencies
• System architecture: naming, component families, token model​

Week 2–3 – Build and Validate

• Build out core components and tokens in Figma
• Regular async check‑ins with your product/design lead for alignment
• Iteration on states, variants, and responsive behavior based on real use cases​

Week 4 – Rollout and Training

• Final library clean‑up and documentation (how to use, when not to use)
• Handoff package for engineering, including example screens wired to components
• 60‑minute live training for designers and devs plus Q&A replay recording

Outcomes you can expect

Typical impact once teams adopt the system:

• Up to 60% faster design and build cycles for common flows
• Fewer regressions and UI bugs because components are battle‑tested and shared
• Predictable product quality no matter who designs or implements the next feature
