What is a design system?

And i explained to her in simple words. I said "A design system is like a set of building blocks for creating digital products, like websites or apps. It includes things like: - Colors:

A palette of colors to keep things consistent.

- Typography: Fonts and how text should look.
- Buttons and Icons: Pre-designed elements you can use without making new ones each time.
- Layout Guidelines: How things should be spaced and arranged on the screen.

It's basically a collection of rules and assets that helps designers and developers work faster, stay consistent, and create a cohesive user experience. So instead of redesigning things from scratch every time, they use the system to ensure everything looks and works in harmony. You can learn more about Design Systems here: https://designsystems.com
