Custom design systems to unify your digital experiences
Not templates. Not UI kits.
We create fully-custom Design Systems — components, tokens, documentation and design-to-dev workflows engineered for fast-moving product teams.
A single source of truth
One unified system powering design, development and delivery.
Consistency that scales
Tokens, rules and documentation that keep teams aligned across every product experience.
Faster Delivery. Lower Cost. Higher Quality.
Reusable foundations that accelerate product development at scale.
Inconsistent UI. Slow delivery. Endless rework 😩
Inconsistent UI across products and teams?
Design drift creates rework, slows delivery and weakens UX.
Designers and developers duplicating work?
A Design System stops reinvention and frees teams to focus on meaningful problems.
Slow delivery caused by rebuilding the same UI patterns?
Reusable components let your team ship faster with fewer defects.
Rogue designers doing their own thing?
Get everyone aligned with shared guidelines, consistent visuals and predictable outputs.
Developers rebuilding UI from scratch every sprint?
Tokens, components and structured documentation unify design and development.
Lost track of your UI inventory?
A centralised system reduces chaos and ensures everything stays consistent at scale.
Our approach
A scalable process that spans Figma and code, designed for enterprise reliability and day-one adoption.
1. Discovery Workshop
A deep dive into your current setup, identifying gaps, design debt and the real problems your system must solve.
2. Audit
Front-end, brand and system audit to evaluate your current design patterns and user experience. This exposes broken patterns, UX issues and inconsistencies slowing your teams down.
3. Scope of Work
A clear and concise scope of work to ensure we know what we’re doing and you know what you’re getting. This removes ambiguity and prevents scope creep or surprise costs later on.
4. Design System Creation
We develop your design system, incorporating your feedback through multiple rounds of revisions so your team stops producing one-off designs that break consistency.
5. Digital Component Library Development
For larger projects, we build a digital component library with reusable code snippets, reducing engineering rework and eliminating multiple versions of the same component.

Honcho + Design Systems FAQs
What is a design system, and why do I need one?
A design system gives you a single, consistent source of truth for your brand and product. It includes styles, components, rules, and documentation that help your team design and build faster.
You get fewer inconsistencies, stronger brand recognition, and a smoother workflow across design and development.
What does Honcho include in a design system?
You get a full, scalable system covering:
Foundations Colour, typography, spacing, grids, radii, borders, shadows, imagery, animations and structural primitives. Gives your team clear rules so every design starts from the same baseline.
Atoms Buttons, links, inputs, dropdowns, checkboxes, radios, toggles, pills, validation patterns, tooltips, accordions and icons. Provides reusable building blocks that keep interfaces consistent and predictable.
Molecules Text groups, navigation and filtering, banners and modals, media blocks and cards. Bundles common UI patterns so teams move faster without reinventing components.
Organisms Global elements, mastheads, standalone sections, page builder modules and article builder elements. Delivers full-page building pieces that scale across products and channels.
Page layouts Desktop large layouts, desktop small layouts, tablet layouts and mobile layouts. Ensures responsive layouts follow the same structure, reducing rework and ambiguity.
You can expand the system over time as your product grows.
What types of design systems do you create?
We build systems for:
Marketing websites
Web applications
Multi-brand ecosystems
Component libraries for complex teams
Organisations with inconsistent or outdated design assets
Code-based design systems for implementation teams
Whether you’re starting from scratch or need to unify years of design drift, we support both.
Can you work with our existing brand or system?
Yes. You can bring an existing brand, style file, or half-built system. We can refine, expand, reorganise, or rebuild it so your team has a clear, usable foundation.
Do you offer ongoing support and maintenance?
Yes. We offer monthly or quarterly support retainers to keep your system updated. This includes new components, documentation updates, accessibility checks, and Figma improvements.
How much does a design system typically cost?
Cost depends on the scope, number of components, whether we’re building from scratch or working from an existing foundation or if you need a code version of the system. After a discovery call, you receive a clear proposal with phased pricing.
As a guide:
Full design systems generally range from $19,000 / £15,000 / €17,500 to $150,000 / £120,000 / €140,000.
Smaller system foundations or upgrades can start from $6,500 / £5,000 / €5,800.
Will our team be able to use and maintain it easily?
Yes. We build design systems in Figma with clear documentation and straightforward naming. Your team can add new components, apply themes, and maintain consistency without guesswork.
Can you help improve consistency or fix messy Figma files?
Definitely. Disorganised or duplicated components slow teams down. We audit your existing setup, clean your file structure, organise components, and create a scalable framework that your designers enjoy using.
What happens once the design system is delivered?
You get a complete system with:
A walk-through session
Documentation
A roadmap for future expansion
Optional ongoing support
Your team can start using it immediately across design and development.
Do you offer development-ready components too?
Yes. If needed, our developers can match the Figma system with coded components, built to your tech stack.
Do you offer white-label design system work for agencies?
Yes. We partner with agencies that need reliable design system support behind the scenes. If you want to explore a white-label setup, we’d love to talk.
