Design Systems

At Toru Digital, we believe that a strong Design System is the foundation of a successful digital presence. Our approach combines design thinking, user experience principles, and cutting-edge technology to create systems that are both beautiful and functional.

Our expertise is demonstrated in projects like Domino Jewellery, where we developed adaptable design frameworks integrated with their eCommerce platform.

A design system significantly accelerates design and development by providing ready-to-use component parts, enabling higher-level thinking during the design process. It ensures brand consistency across all collateral and facilitates a smoother transition between design and development teams.

A well developed Design System allows for sophisticated, versatile components that adapt to different contexts and sizes, enabling dynamic content and interactivity. Importantly, design systems also provide a methodical approach to ensuring accessibility across all brand elements, ensuring designs are inclusive for all users.

By developing a Design System with Toru Digital, you'll benefit from our expertise in creating efficient, consistent, and adaptable design frameworks. Our custom processes and automation tools ensure a seamless transition from design to development, resulting in high-quality digital products that accurately reflect your brand vision while improving accessibility and user experience across all platforms.

Design:

We begin by thoroughly understanding the brand, including its guidelines, tone of voice, and other collateral. If necessary, we support in creating or refining these brand elements before commencing the design system work.

Build:

We create individual components and comprehensive documentation for both the components and the design system as a whole. This process includes creating reusable components, defining interaction patterns, and establishing clear guidelines for typography, colour, and imagery to ensure the design system is ready for efficient implementation in code.

Optimise:

To test the effectiveness of the Design System, we build actual designs from it, such as web pages and marketing materials. This step allows us to refine and optimise the system based on real-world application.

• Consistency: Ensure a unified brand experience across all digital touch points.
• Quality: Produces high-quality designs that are completely on-brand.
• Efficiency: Speed up design and development processes with ready-to-use components.
• Scalability: Easily adapt and expand your digital presence as your business grows.
• Collaboration: Improve communication between designers, developers, and stakeholders.
• Future-proof: Creates a solid foundation for ongoing design work.

Design Systems offer businesses consistency, quality, and efficiency in their design outputs, ultimately saving time and money while strengthening brand identity.

Toru Digital's expertise in creating and implementing these systems ensures a seamless transition from design to development, providing a solid foundation for all future brand-related work and empowering multiple teams with a valuable, unified resource.
