overview

Haus had a product built by four different design teams over three years. The result was a UI full of inconsistencies — 23 different button styles, six type scales, and a color system nobody could explain. With a Series B round closed and a team doubling in size, they needed a single source of truth before the inconsistency became impossible to fix.

approach

We audited the entire product before writing a single token. Every component was catalogued, duplicates were identified, and a consolidation plan was agreed with the engineering team before design work began. The final system shipped with 6 token categories, 48 base components, and full dark mode support. Documentation was written for both designers and developers so neither team had to translate for the other.

client testimonial

We went from dreading design reviews to looking forward to them. The system gave everyone a shared language and that changed everything about how we work.
