World-class design systems execution

Radically upgrade production velocity and quality in half the time

Designing modern production

Mitosis has the singular goal of helping companies realize the immense benefits of a modern design system. It is the key undergirding for all types of app/software production, whether created by humans or humans with AI. It is the harmony of designers and developers deeply understanding what each other does... and it's proper expression results in the highest quality products done faster than anyone else.

3x

Average increase in design and development production.

Teams without a design system (or a pooly implemented one) frequently miss production deadlines and experience mounting debt for both design and development.

42%

Average savings in unnecessary resources or staffing.

In-house design systems teams typically require anywhere from 5 to 20 dedicated employees.

5 months

Average time it takes us to implement an end-to-end solution.

Many companies typically take 2-3 years to fully launch a design system, occasionally dead on arrival.

2 years

Average time it takes in-house teams of 5-10 people to accomplish what we do.

Frequently missed production deadlines, mounting debt for both design and development.

Design
architect / artist / developer

We distill and codify your brand into an intuitive, future-proof framework. Design ideation becomes a breeze, accessibility is pre-emptively solved, and handoffs are created using the very tokens and components development will be using.

Development
engineer / builder / designer

We ensure 1:1 syncronization between design and development, from the style framework to the component libraries. Ensuring design and UI decisions lean into what code naturally wants to do, not the other way around. Components are truly reusable, organized in a way to continually evolve, ensuring development is as efficient as possible.

When design and development speak the same language, the need for translation disappears, and collective effort is optimized and magnified.

Capabilities

We specialize in end-to-end execution of design systems. From brand, to interface, to development, its harmonious interconnectedness, its ongoing evolution, and educating stakeholders. View all capabilities.

Token framework

Primitive and semantic style frameworks in Figma and code.

Component libraries

Single or multi-platform component libraries in Figma and code.

Master files

Reference files built with tokens and components for key pages in Figma and static code.

AI workflows

Optimized processes for understanding and leveraging the design system.

"After endless planning and multiple failed attempts trying it ourselves, Mitosis knocked it out of the park in just a few months. Unbelieveable value and service.”

A critical investment

Design systems can be a risky endeavour. Succeed, and you dramatically improve production quality and velocity. Fail, and it's years of wasted resources and compounded debt.

It requires individuals with uncommon, cross-domain expertise and it is unadvised to be learned on the fly as mistakes are very costly.

Let us handle the upfront work and educate your core in-house leaders. Avoid potential political friction by tasking an outside agency with the work. We are very competitively prices when compared with the typical cost and time of implementation with in-house resources.

Yes. Our core style framework can syncronize web, iOS, Android, TV, and more. Note there are platform specific conventions and interactions which will cause respective component libraries to deviate.

Yes, we can deliver both the style framework and component libraries according to your codebase. If it makes more sense (due to a uniquely nuanced codebase) we can deliver generic, static libraries, to then be configured by your in-house developers.

Like most things in design and development, it's faster and more prudent to start from scratch. We have a detailed auditing process that will extract and re-architect your brand, style, and components.

Yes. While our goal is to empower your team to do so themselves, we can help support teams with ongoing education, style framework maintenance, and the creation of new components.

Yes. We customize our design systems to be appropriate to the scale of your product, with consideration to the foreseeable future. Our goal is to ensure things are adequately futureproof, while shedding anything that isn't needed.

Just about everyone involved in production will need to understand design systems. We offer onboarding presentations, office hours, and dedicated training sessions to help level up individuals responsible for the design system's upkeep.

If we are a good fit for each other, we are more than happy to work with companies worldwide.
