Shaping digital ecosystems
Benefit from our many years of experience in the conception, design, implementation and establishment of design systems.
Challenges of digital ecosystems
Digital transformation and digitalization are changing product development. Customers experience your brand and your company via many digital touchpoints. The more complex your digital product and service world is, the more important it is to have a common thread that holds your brand together. But digital ecosystems also pose challenges for design and development teams: How to avoid redundant work? How do you ensure that everyone uses the same design principles? How do you reduce communication and coordination costs? You can do all this with a design system.
Our services for your digital ecosystem
Build your own design system with our help. We support you from the first audit of your existing digital products through to documentation. We also make it easier for your employees to get started with the design system and enable them to expand it independently. After all, a design system is only successful if it is maintained and used with pleasure.

Advantages of a design system
A design system helps your designers and developers to produce new products and features quickly and efficiently in projects. By reusing components, you don’t have to reinvent the wheel every time. This leaves time and budget to concentrate on the essentials: the user experience. A design system optimizes the collaboration between design and development and eliminates many sources of error and redundancies. At the same time, it ensures the consistency that your brand needs. This allows you to offer your customers a consistent brand and user experience – across all media and platforms.
Steffen Neumann, Art Director
“We have been developing digital products and services with an excellent user experience since 1998. We know how to create good and consistent design – and document it. We also bring this many years of experience in UX design to your project. We are also users of design systems ourselves in numerous projects. We know exactly what data and information a design system needs to provide so that design and development can develop products quickly and efficiently.”
Jasmin Hellmann, Senior User Experience Designer
“A design system is about more than just components and guidelines. It is people who use, maintain and expand it. We therefore not only focus on the creation and documentation of your design system. Rather, we help you to get your employees excited about the design system. So that they enjoy using it regularly. We also establish the processes you need to adapt and further develop the design system.”
