A Design System is the complete set of design standards, documentation, and principles along with the toolkit (UI patterns and code components) to achieve those standards.
​
Benefits of a Design System
Provide a cohesive look and feel, making it easier to understand and navigate the site.
For the company: defining visual and interactive aspects of components enables standardization, and minimizes code discrepancies.
This reduces up-front work (and development time/ effort) and ensures scalability in a faster, more consistent manner.

Results
This allowed us to create code snippets for engineers to ensure we’re using the same components everywhere (and to reduce new/ different variations).
