90 days from friction
to a system that runs.
A focused 13-week engagement where we work embedded with your team to build the infrastructure that connects design, engineering, and product, for good.
Three principles that shape every engagement.
Embedded, not outsourced.
We work alongside your designers and engineers every week. No black-box deliveries, no surprises at handoff. The infrastructure gets built in context, with context.
Infrastructure, not documentation.
We don't produce slide decks or Notion wikis. We produce pipelines, component systems, governance rules, and CI/CD integrations, things that run in production.
Your team owns it from day one.
Every decision we make is explained. Every system we build has runbooks. When we leave, your team can operate, extend, and govern the infrastructure without us.
Four phases. Ninety days.
Here's exactly what happens, week by week.
Listen & Map
Weeks 1–2- Kickoff and stakeholder interviews
- Component inventory across all products
- Current state mapping of design system
- Handoff process observation
- Friction mapping and current state analysis
- Design-engineering friction points
- AI-readiness baseline score
- Architecture recommendation brief
Friction Map + Architecture Brief, a clear picture of every system gap and a proposed infrastructure blueprint.
Design the System
Weeks 3–6- System architecture (design tokens + global rules)
- Component standards and naming conventions
- Governance model draft
- Pipeline specification
- Team review and alignment sessions
- Variant architecture for consistent UI at scale
- Multi-brand strategy (if applicable)
- Architecture sign-off
System Architecture + Component Standards + Governance Model, the full blueprint your team reviews and approves before we build.
Build Together
Weeks 7–10- Design-to-code pipeline build (Figma to production)
- Core component foundations with flexible variants
- CI/CD integration setup
- Storybook configuration
- Component library extension
- Figma Connect and MCP setup
- Documentation generation pipeline
- QA and regression testing
Live design-to-code pipeline, core component library, Storybook integration, and CI/CD hooks, all running in your repository.
Your Team Takes Over
Weeks 11–13- Team training sessions (design + engineering)
- Contribution and governance playbooks
- Internal documentation finalization
- Edge case and exception handling
- Final QA and system audit
- Handoff session with all stakeholders
- 90-day support window opens
- Success metric baseline established
Trained team, full playbooks, documented governance, and a 90-day support window so you're never left alone.
What you bring. What we build.
