1. Design and development alignment is essential
‍

Design systems, and especially for white-label solutions, thrive when design and development teams work together seamlessly. By aligning early on and taking advantage of relevant communication tools, teams ensure that every component—from functionality to aesthetics—is built with a shared vision in mind.

‍

2. Standardizing naming conventions matter...a lot

Establishing clear and consistent naming conventions for components and their properties keeps everyone on the same page. It prevents confusion and ensures that all parts of the design and development process are easily understood by all stakeholders.

‍

3. Synchronize enviroments to drive efficiency

To prevent bottlenecks, take advantage of relevant tools like Figma's REST API and Style Dictionary. These allow you to streamline workflows and avoid roadblocks, keeping the project moving smoothly and efficiently.

‍

4. Automation boosts consistency

Automating repetitive processes, such as asset generation or code deployments, reduces errors and ensures consistency across all products. Automation helps scale the design system without sacrificing quality.

‍

5. Sync Figma properties with code properties

Agreeing on the properties and parameters of each component from the start ensures smoother development and reduces the need for back-and-forth adjustments later. This allows both design and development to operate more independently while staying aligned.
