Atlas — A Design System that Outlasted the Team

Built the first real design system at a Series A fintech — tokens, components, and Code Connect wired end-to-end.

Atlas — A Design System that Outlasted the Team

The problem

Four product teams. Three different sets of buttons. A brand refresh on the way. Engineering shipped faster than design could audit.

The approach

We started from tokens, not components. Colour, type, radius, spacing — all as Figma variables, mirrored to Tailwind CSS custom properties. Then components, with Code Connect mappings so the engineers could jump from Figma to the real JSX.

Outcome

  • 42 components, fully documented
  • 1,400+ Code Connect mappings
  • Design audit backlog: cleared
