Freelance design system
As a product designer on a journey to grow my skills and better understand the product space, I kept running into the same challenges:
- How do I stay consistent, fast, and professional across different design projects?
- How can I get the most out of design tools and apply UI components effectively in real projects?
To answer these questions, I built my own freelance design system, a toolkit that helps me design faster, maintain visual consistency, and deliver high-quality work with ease

Cathy, really nice work on building your own freelance design system! It’s clear you’ve put thought into consistency and speed, which is super important for client work. I’d love to see a bit more of it in action—like how your components come together in real screens. That would make the system feel even more practical and inspiring.
Freelance Design System feels neat and thoughtful—it's clear that you aimed for consistency and reusability with your components which makes it practical for juggling multiple client projects.
To make it even more relatable:
- Show it in use - like how the system applies to buttons, alerts, or navigation across a mobile or web layout.
- Explain why you made it - a quick line like “Built to speed up freelance workflows and keep client work consistent” gives it purpose.
- Highlight your process - mentioning Figma variables, naming conventions, or tokens adds context and shows depth.
Overall, a solid foundation with room to bring more context and storytelling into the mix! Great job and looking forward to your next project!
Hey Cathy, great to see your project. Really nice work! I appreciate how you studied from 3 design systems and create your own design kit to suit your best usage. I believe this would be a cool source to use for many freelance works to go.
Looking for more updates for this project as you get more practical experiences with your clients :D
