Content is just as important as components
As someone who loves getting into the details of UI, I found myself spending more time creating components to be pixel-perfect and prototyping the design system over writing the content. This left me with limited time to write some of the documentation in my prototype, giving room to inconsistency and reducing the quality of my project. If I was to do this again, I would spend more time planning and writing before moving into Figma.
Design systems are complex
This project helped me understand the complexity of design systems and their crucial role in helping multidisciplinary teams collaborate to create cohesive designs.
