The philosophy of design is the study of design definitions, foundations, assumptions, and implications. It’s a sub-discipline of aesthetics that focuses on a set of design problems or foundational concerns. A designer’s philosophy defines their goals and the principles they’ll use to achieve them. It’s an important part of the UX design process and affects how users respond to the final product.

Design systems streamline workflow, enhance collaboration and maintain brand identity. Design teams create them for scalable and cohesive digital experiences.

Design systems provide consistent styling and interaction guidelines for teams.
