Munchkin Design System

Scalable Figma-based atomic design system with reusable components.

Role

Senior Digital Designer (UI, UX)

Industry

Retail: Infant, Toddler, and Family

Tools

Figma

Challenge

When Munchkin moved from Sketch to Figma, it wasn’t just about switching tools—we needed a design system that actually worked for the team. With the munchkin.com redesign, we set out to build a flexible system of components that could scale across different page types and screen sizes, and be something people would actually want to use.

Goal

Create an atomic design system that’s manageable and can grow with the brand and user needs. This meant setting up consistent foundations: colors, typography, grids, and spacing, then tying it all together with reusable components to keep everything feeling connected and consistent across the site.

Outcome

The new design system became the go-to foundation for the entire digital team. It streamlined our workflow, made collaboration easier, and gave designers and developers a shared language. We saw faster build times, fewer design inconsistencies, and a much smoother handoff process. The system also made it easier to roll out updates and new features across the site, without reinventing the wheel every time. It helped create a more cohesive, user-friendly experience on munchkin.com that could keep growing with the brand.
