Our design system is built on these core principles:
1. Consistency
Every element should feel like it belongs to the same family. Consistent patterns reduce cognitive load and help users navigate with confidence.
2. Clarity
Remove ambiguity. Every component, label, and interaction should communicate its purpose clearly. When in doubt, be explicit.
3. Accessibility
Design for everyone. Our components meet WCAG 2.1 AA standards, with proper contrast, keyboard navigation, and screen reader support.
4. Efficiency
Respect users' time. Minimize steps, provide sensible defaults, and use progressive disclosure to reduce complexity.
5. Flexibility
One size doesn't fit all. Components should be customizable through design tokens, variants, and composition patterns.
