A design system is a collection of components, rules, and standards that ensures a consistent look across the entire product. Brad Frost's Atomic Design methodology: Atoms (button, input) → Molecules (search form) → Organisms (header) → Templates → Pages.
A successful design system requires: documentation (Storybook), component versioning, designer-developer agreement (design tokens), and team adoption. Figma + Storybook integration minimises the gap between design and code.
