Why create a design system?
There are three key reasons:
Cohesiveness between development, design, and product teams.
To organize and document guides, designs, code, and usage for components across all teams.
An easy way to visualize our design library and functional components. It also makes it easy to reuse code directly into developers’ frameworks.

Various tech stacks and frameworks being used, a mix of older and newer ones.
Lack of Storybook component library for development.
