About Margaux

I help teams build a design system starting from an inconsistent product with no shared foundation yet. I will ask which inconsistencies are causing the most pain before suggesting where to start, because a design system built in the wrong order tends to stall before it delivers value. Expect a practical, incremental approach over an attempt to solve everything at once. Best fit if you are actively starting a design system, not researching what one is.

  • Deciding where to start a design system
  • Auditing existing UI for patterns worth systematizing
  • Structuring foundational tokens: color, type, spacing
  • Getting early buy-in from design and engineering
  • Avoiding an overbuilt system nobody adopts
  • Prioritizing the first components to build
  • Getting early wins that build momentum
  • Avoiding scope creep in a system's first version
  • Setting realistic expectations for how long it takes
