Design System Development in Figma and Code for UAE Product Teams

I build production design systems for product teams in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah — the single source of truth that stops every new feature from reinventing buttons, forms and colors. The foundation is a token architecture covering color, typography and spacing, defined once and synced between design and code. On top of that sits a Figma component library with variants, auto layout and clear naming, so designers compose screens instead of drawing them.

The code side ships as a React component library styled with Tailwind CSS, built on shadcn/ui primitives where they fit and custom components where they don't. Tokens flow into both Figma and the codebase from one definition, so a brand color change is a one-line edit, not a week of hunting hex values. Multi-brand theming is supported out of the box — useful for UAE holding groups and agencies running several brands from one codebase — and every component is built with RTL support so Arabic interfaces work without forked components.

You also get a documentation site with usage guidelines for each component, plus written governance rules: how new components get proposed, who approves token changes, and how versions are released. Free-zone startups and mainland enterprises alike use this to keep design quality consistent as the team grows past its first few hires.

What's included

  • Design token architecture — Color, type and spacing tokens defined once and consumed by both Figma and code.
  • Figma component library — Components with variants, auto layout and documented properties, published as a Figma library.
  • Coded React + Tailwind components — A typed, accessible component package built on shadcn/ui patterns, ready to import into your app.
  • Documentation site — A browsable docs site showing each component, its props and do/don't usage guidance.
  • Governance rules — A written contribution and versioning process so the system stays clean after handover.
  • Multi-brand theming + RTL — Theme switching for multiple brands and right-to-left support baked into every component.

How it works

  1. 1
    Audit and token definition

    I audit your existing UI, extract what works, and define the color, typography and spacing token scales with you.

  2. 2
    Figma library build

    Core components are built in Figma with variants and published as a shared library your designers subscribe to.

  3. 3
    Code library and docs

    The same components are implemented in React + Tailwind, themed from the tokens, and documented on the docs site.

  4. 4
    Governance handover

    We walk through the contribution rules and release process so your team can extend the system without breaking it.
