By the end of this course you can structure a design token architecture, design and document components that resist misuse, and govern a design system so it stays consistent, adopted, and healthy as more teams and platforms depend on it.

01How to structure a design system with Atomic Design vocabulary and define a token architecture spanning color, typography, spacing, and elevation across global, semantic, and component tiers
02How to design a component's bounded API of props, variants, and states, set composition rules, write do/don't usage guidance, document accessibility, and manage versioning and contribution
03How to choose a governance model, keep a Figma library in sync with shipped code, share tokens across web, iOS, and Android, measure adoption, deprecate components safely, onboard new teams, and handle genuine exceptions
04How to trace a single design system, spanning tokens, components, and governance, through a real, growing rollout end to end
