Mitosis offers end-to-end design systems implementation

"They are designers that code and developers that design... and think like ensemble musicians, not soloists. It's incredibly difficult to find expertise like Mitosis.”

Lisa V. @ User Research Lead

Comprehensive end-to-end solutions

From audit, to brand, to tokens, to components, to figma, to code, to storybook, to master design files and code. We've refined the entire process to both maximally leverage design systems and be as streamlined as possible. We constantly challenge bloat and excess, while perserving flexibility and scalability.

Our process includes discovery and strategic alignment, solving your designer's needs, solving your developer's needs, then educating all stakeholders to fully harness their new custom framework.

Our solutions are catered the subtle nuances of your product. The design system needs to be just right while accounting for the foreseeable future, so your team can move as quick as possible towards shipping features.

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.

Mitosis offers complete, end-to-end design systems integration. From audit to execution to advocacy, the entire process is carefully catered to the specific needs of your team.

Discovery
Audit / Strategy / Alignment

Before breaking ground, we work with you to understand your current production process and the scope of your products or suite of products. From there, we collectively develop a plan and timeframe that accomodates your product goals.

Architecture
Style framework / Design and development resources

We take your brand elements and the total scope of your UI/UX needs to create a framework that not only meets your current needs, but scales to satisfy your future requirements and whatever unforeseen deviations that may come up.

Token framework
Primitives / Semantics / Figma and code

The primitive and semantic token framework contain the building blocks of your component libraries. Our framework provides guardrails that dramatically reduce analysis paralysis, ensure a high level of quality, consistency, and accessibility compliance. They empower designers to build with elements tied to intention, and not just their visual qualities.

Component libraries
Multi-platform / Figma / Storybook

Using the style framework, we build out component libaries in Figma spanning common elements to components custom to your products, including whichever variations are needed.

Master design templates
Design resources

We bring the style framework and component libaries together in master design files for your key pages. These serve as a boilerplates for design iteration and an intuitive way for designers to learn how the design system works.

Master code templates
Development resources

Again, we bring the style framework and component libraries together, this time expressed in code, as templates for key pages. These also serve as convenient boilerplates that dramatically speed up developer onboarding and interation.

Storybook
Developer component libraries

Development components are documented and made consumable in storybook, overing built-in accessibility checks and testing.

Advocacy / Education
Onboarding / Office hours / Presentations

We understand that a design system is only as useful as the people willing to understand and weild it. We offer ongoing onboarding sessions, office hours, and presentations so that your in-house team is confident in using and maintaining the design system.
