What tools can I use to build a design system?
To build and maintain a design system, you’ll need tools for both design and development:
Design tools: Figma, Sketch, and Adobe XD let you create shared libraries of components and styles. Figma’s team libraries make it easy to publish reusable elements.
Documentation tools: Storybook is great for documenting UI components in code (React, Vue, etc.). Platforms like zeroheight, Supernova, and Frontify help you build a browsable style guide site.
Developer tools: Use Git for version control and tools like Style Dictionary to sync design tokens across platforms.
Choose tools that bridge the gap between design and code—one for crafting and sharing design assets, and another for implementing and documenting components.
