Previous notes

Here's our recommended structure for how to set up your design system:

1. A main design system team, with projects and files for your foundations (or primitives) right up through your atomic components, assets, and brand elements
2. Design system project within individual teams for when you need team-specific components or styles
3. Components pages within your files for when you need a component localised to a specific piece of work of feature you're working on
