MVDS

Active

An opinionated design system that doesn’t drift.

Why this matters

Design systems are often rich in components but scarce on point of view. As a designer/founder, I want the bare minimum set of components I need to prototype an idea, plus my own zero-to-one design strategy baked in. An MVP, but for design systems.

Hypothesis

Solo founders need an minimally viable design system — an MVDS — that contains core set of components and design principles to put solid foundations into the wet cement of their experiments.

"Not gonna lie — I want this for me." As a designer/founder: the bare minimum set of components needed to prototype an idea, plus a zero-to-one design strategy baked in — an MVP, but for design systems. The need recurs with every experiment; hub adoption is pre-wired but hasn't happened yet (the packages are still unused by the workspace). Stub — edit freely.
