A fintech design team\u2019s journey from manual Material Design customisation to AI design system automation. AI design tokens, bulk component editing, daily sync routines, and the 10% of work that still requires a human designer.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ask our design lead, Olha Sliusar, how much of her week the design system takes and her answer is about half, on any project that maintains it properly. That isn\u2019t designing. It\u2019s renaming tokens, editing component variants, keeping the documentation current, and checking that the three people adding variables follow the same naming rules. On the project behind this article, she now hands most of that to Claude.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This article is a practitioner\u2019s account of how our design team on an energy-sector client project brought that 50% down to 10% using AI for design systems: AI-native workflows<\/a> that handle token management, bulk component editing, and automated documentation. Not as a concept or a prototype \u2014 as a production design system automation workflow that\u2019s been running for months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
