Planting the seed for a “systems state of mind”
summary
Andes UI migrates to Figma and becomes a shared, transparent library with eight libraries, 40+ components and thousands of variants, used by a UX org of ~800 people supporting 137 million users. Teams build reusable solutions like PolyCards, a single adaptable product card that replaces many inconsistent cards, and create sub-systems such as Pandora UI with 50+ patterns and a Storybook-backed dev repo. Design system stewardship shifts to mediating subsystems, improving consistency while letting teams ship faster.
