Don't underestimate the power of design systems, even for small projects!

Do you think design systems are just for big companies? Think again! Having a clear idea of the components in your project, no matter the size, is a game-changer. Here's why:

• Faster, smoother design: Imagine designing with pre-made Legos ️. Components let you build screens quickly and consistently.

• Cleaner, happier code: Developers love components too! They mean less repetitive code and a more efficient, organized project. It's a win-win!

• A better user experience (UX) and user interface (UI): A well-defined design system ensures everything looks and feels polished, keeping your users happy

So next time you start a project, big or small, take a moment to think about your design system. It'll make your life (and your developer's life) so much easier!
