For teams shipping product without a full design department.
Orin builds the design system your developers ship from.
Developers are carrying the design load.
Most product teams are shipping without a full design department. Either they never had one, or they're leaner than they used to be. So the developers carry the design load — and every sprint they're reinventing components, making design calls in silos, and building up debt that slows the whole team down. Multiple versions of the same component. Fourteen shades of grey. Nobody's fault. No source of truth.
Orin builds the substrate.
The design system, the tokens, the component library, the pipeline that connects Figma to the codebase. One source of truth your team ships from — built in your workflow, not delivered over a wall. This site runs on the same pipeline it sells. View the tokens →
How it works
The Diagnostic — £3,000, 1–2 weeks
I find where your substrate is broken and what it's costing you. Written diagnosis, useful whether or not we go further.
The Build — from £14,000, 4–6 weeks
The system, built and connected. Scoped from the Diagnostic — I don't price unscoped work.
The Retainer — £2,000/month
I stay close and the system stays alive. Cancel with 30 days' notice.
This works. I've measured it.
At Vivo Energy (contracted via Rethink), the development team had no design system — every developer making design calls alone. A simple component library, page patterns, and token setup aligned the team: sixty per cent fewer defects, faster development, and a Technical Officer with something to point at when the business asked what changed.

That's the kind of problem I like to solve.
If your team is shipping without a source of truth, the Diagnostic is where we start.
