What are design systems
A design system is not a pattern library, brand guidelines or a Sketch file.
A design system is a system of living principles, guides and components used by designers and developers to build consistent products and experiences.
A design system is a product . It has users, roadmaps, releases, features, maintenance, bugs, documentation and support.
“System enthusiasts must become entrepreneurs, pitching and selling ideas that get a possibly resistant organization to commit.” — Nathan Curtis
“A system isn’t a project with an end, it’s the origin story of a living and evolving product that’ll serve other products.” — Nathan Curtis
You’re going to make mistakes. That’s OK.

Let's look at some simple and interesting ways that you can put into practice today to make your design system flourish.
