Business-wise, why is it important to have a design system?
​
It's not only to make things consistent, keep things pretty, and make it easier to use; the main goal is to cut costs.
​
Why?
Well, with a proper and structured design system, you will no longer:
​
• Have a mess of components all over the place
• Designers won't have to waste time trying to find the latest components to use
• Designers will build things faster
• Developers won't have to code everything from scratch or rely on shady UI libraries
​
It all comes down to how fast you can ship things, and how, with more time = more money is spent. Leadership doesn't care about design just for the sake of design.
