Design system release

Airtable — Component requests

Any team can file a request for a new or missing component here — the intake form that keeps ad-hoc Slack asks from becoming untracked one-offs.

Figma — Pattern audit

Screenshotting every existing instance of a pattern across the product to see how far it's already drifted before designing the canonical version.

Figma — Spec + tokens

The canonical component gets built with real design tokens, not one-off values — states, variants, and spacing all named and documented.

Storybook — Build & QA

Engineering builds the component in isolation here, variant by variant, so it's tested against the spec before it ever ships inside a real page.

→ ship together

Zeroheight — Document

Usage guidelines, do's and don'ts, and code snippets get published together so nobody has to ask in Slack how a component is supposed to be used.

Linear — System backlog

The design system's own backlog, tracked separately from feature work so system debt doesn't quietly lose every prioritization fight.
