DESIGN SYSTEM RESCUE / REACT / TAILWIND / SHADCN
Best for products with a real codebase and visible interface debt.
01 / INTERFACE DEBT
The symptoms are already costing engineering time.
Design-system problems rarely arrive as one dramatic failure. They show up as small decisions your team has to remake on every screen.
Product UI inventory
Before cleanup
Buttons
7 treatments
Every flow invents another primary action.
Spacing
3 scales
Figma and Tailwind disagree by a few pixels everywhere.
States
0 guidelines
Loading, empty, error, and disabled are rebuilt ad hoc.
New screens
Start over
The system cannot answer the next product decision.
02 / ONE PRODUCT LANGUAGE
The system has to survive the trip from Figma to production.
The goal is not a prettier library. It is a shared set of decisions that stays recognizable in React, Tailwind, shadcn/ui, Storybook, and the live product.

Reality
Semantic foundations
Color, type, spacing, radius, and elevation roles with clear names.
Complete component states
Responsive, loading, empty, error, disabled, and edge cases designed together.
Figma and code parity
Components map to the implementation your developers actually own.
Governance that lasts
Contribution rules, usage notes, and a practical maintenance cadence.
DESIGNED FOR REAL DELIVERY
Twelve years of product judgment, not a component-library reskin.
I have designed for Fortune 500 companies, early-stage startups, and agencies. The system stays grounded in the product, the team, and the codebase it needs to support.
START WITH THE MESSY VERSION
Let me see where the system breaks down.
A Figma link, Storybook, staging URL, or a few screenshots are enough to start. I will help separate structural debt from surface cleanup.
