Architecture & Foundations
We help teams create the building blocks that keep products consistent, scalable and beautifully coherent, from colour and typography to grids, spacing and motion.
Why architecture & foundations
Go faster without losing alignment or quality
At Kyan, we define and document the design principles that power your entire digital ecosystem. By establishing clear foundations and structure, we give your teams the freedom to innovate without losing alignment or quality.
Design principles & structure
We‘ll help you define the core elements of your visual language; layout, grid, hierarchy and interaction patterns, so that every design decision builds on a strong and unified base.
Visual foundations
From colour palettes and typography to iconography, spacing and motion, we design systems that make your brand instantly recognisable and accessible across every platform.
Accessibility & usability standards
We embed accessibility into your foundations, ensuring that your design system supports inclusive, user-friendly experiences by default.
Documentation & governance
We document your architecture clearly and practically, making it easy for designers, developers and stakeholders to understand, contribute and evolve your design system over time.
Audit and define
We start by reviewing your existing design landscape, identifying gaps and inconsistencies. Together, we define the foundational elements that will unify your products.
Design and document
We create detailed design tokens, styles and documentation that your teams can reference and build on confidently.
Implement and test
Our engineers and designers integrate your foundations into your tools, from Figma to Storybook and test them across real use cases.
Evolve and scale
We help you govern and grow your system, ensuring that every new product and feature aligns with your foundation.
