How this one started
One brief, no proposal. We built it, then talked about terms.
A design system in a box
Projects overview
A product built to be used rather than demoed: real data, real edge cases, and the unglamorous parts finished.
Problem/solution
Founders redesign the same twenty components before writing any product.
Problem
Every new company rebuilds buttons, forms, navigation and empty states from scratch, badly, while the actual product waits behind them.
Tokens and components opinionated enough to use immediately, and loose enough to carry a brand once there is one.
Solution
