Case Study
Espresso Design System
The Challenge

The product team was growing quickly without a shared UI language.
Key Insights
What research surfaced before visual decisions were made.

What the final system needed to communicate, not just display.
Documentation was intentionally concise but clear enough for both designers and developers to use with confidence.
Project Signals
A few outcomes worth keeping visible.
