GEARS / IN PRACTICE
A design system earns its cost when teams repeatedly solve the same interface problems across products, markets or releases.
More than components
The valuable layer includes decisions: typography, spacing, states, accessibility, content rules and ownership.
Start at the right size
Small teams often need a focused component library and tokens, not a governance programme.
Design and code together
If Figma and production components drift, the system creates false confidence instead of speed.
GEARS approach
Build only the reusable layer that removes repeated decisions and supports the delivery model.
