Accessibility
Every component audited and documented according to WCAG 2.2 AA or AAA standards, depending on your constraints and criteria.
Assess your accessibilityDesign system: a common language, from the Figma file to code
A design system brings together the colours, typography, components and rules that make up the identity of your digital solutions. I work with your designers and developers on defining, designing and evolving it, so that every new interface is consistent, accessible and faster to produce.

Who is it for?
When your organisation needs a design system
This service is useful when:
- Your websites and applications no longer share the same identity.
- The same components are recreated for every project.
- There is a lot of back-and-forth between design and development.
- A Figma library exists but is no longer used or maintained.
- You are preparing a technical migration (for example from Bootstrap to Tailwind).
You are…
Freelancer or SME
A clear component base and guidelines, so your website and materials stay consistent as you grow.
Large company
A single source of truth shared by your departments, your brands and your service providers.
Institution
Components that meet accessibility requirements, reused across all your websites.
What?
A complete design system: foundations, components and documentation
What the service includes
- Audit and inventory of your existing interfaces, styles and components.
- Foundations: design tokens (colours, typography, spacing…), light and dark modes, naming conventions.
- Components: built from real usage, with their variants, states and accessibility criteria.
- Design ↔ code link: exported tokens, code components, connection between Figma and code.
- Documentation: usage, dos and don'ts, accessibility, examples.
- Governance: contribution rules, versions, review rituals.
What you receive
- A structured and documented Figma library.
- The matching tokens and code components.
- A documentation website or space.
- A contribution charter and a migration plan for your existing solutions.
Why?
The benefits of a shared design system
- Consistent interfaces across all your channels, which strengthen your audiences' trust.
- Faster projects: designers and developers start from proven components.
- Fewer gaps between mock-up and production, thanks to a common vocabulary.
- Accessibility built in at the source: a fix made in a component benefits every screen.
- Disciplines that talk to each other: designers, developers and product owners build and decide together.
In practice
How the support works
Step 1: Discovery call
Free, one hour: your context and your objectives.
Step 2: Maturity assessment
Where your design system stands, and where to start.
Step 3: Step-by-step build
The most used components first, in workshops with your designers and developers.
Step 4: Documentation and handover
Your contacts are trained to keep the system alive.
Who takes part: your designers and front-end developers, communication for the brand, the product owner for priorities.
Over time
Design system maintenance
A design system without follow-up runs out of steam within a few months. The monthly plan keeps it alive at the pace of your projects.
- Evolution of components according to your requests.
- Continuous alignment between Figma and code.
- Accessibility check of every modified component.
- Up-to-date documentation and release notes.
- A question channel for your designers and developers.
- A monthly review and, depending on the plan, a quarterly roadmap.
Three plans: Essential, Evolution and Partner, depending on the volume and pace you need.

AI in design
A well-structured design system is the best foundation for automating time-consuming procedures where people add little value.
