Helios Labs Design System

Overview

Seven products, seven visual languages. We audited every surface, defined a single token-driven system, and shipped it as a documented, versioned package.

The client's problem

Every team rebuilt buttons, tables, and modals from scratch. Releases were slow and the portfolio looked like seven different companies.

Project goals

• Define one accessible design language
• Ship a versioned component package
• Reduce UI build time per feature

Challenges

• Four teams with different release cadences
• Migrating live products incrementally
• Documented accessibility guarantees

Our solution

Semantic design tokens, a headless-primitive component library, Storybook documentation, and a migration codemod each team ran on their own schedule.
