Do small teams need a design system?
Yes, small teams can absolutely benefit from a design system. It doesn’t need to be complex—just a shared Figma page or style guide with consistent colors, typography, and common components (like buttons or forms) can make a big difference.
This helps:
Maintain consistency across designs
Speed up design and development
Onboard new team members or contractors faster
Keep it lean and practical. Start with basics, and scale it gradually if your team or product grows. Even a mini system adds real value without slowing you down.
