Welcome to your interview.

The question is on your right: Build a Scalable Design System. Take a moment with it first.

Talk your thinking through with me if you like - when you're confident, submit your answer and I'll grade it like a real screen (7/10 or better passes). Discussion and graded submissions share your five interviewer interactions, so spend them well.

Problem

Scenario

You’re working on a growing digital product with multiple surfaces, and the UI has started to drift as different teams ship features independently. You want a design system that scales across new features and contributors without slowing delivery.

Question

What is your process for creating and maintaining a scalable design system, especially around component reuse, consistency, scope, and long-term roadmap decisions?
