A design system is a tool that can adapt and evolve with the changing needs of a product team. A well-designed system is often referred to as a "source of truth" or a "living and breathing thing" due to its dynamic nature. Like a house on wheels, the design system requires skilled drivers and regular maintenance to function effectively. In the case of the UDS, this maintenance includes updating Figma components, documentation, and communication with team leads. The "fuel" for this system comes from various product teams who request new components, updated guidelines, or bug fixes. To effectively support these requests, the UDS must be designed to handle them seamlessly and efficiently.
