Elvia Design System

The design system was created as a result of a rebranding into Elvia. It resulted in a complete collection of the whole Elvia brand and guidelines, as well as an extensive component library.

The design system is still under constant development, with the goal of enabling resources for everyone.

More than just
a manual.

Elvia’s design system was developed to create a common toolbox for all of Elvia’s utilities to help teams create user-friendly applications while inspiring to better solutions. Our mission was to make the everyday a bit smoother for Elvia employees, customers and end-users interacting with Elvia’s systems. The final design system includes components, brand identity, tools, patterns, and more.

The design system started as a component library, but quickly grew into much more. After the Elvia’s new brand identity, the system served as a natural place for everything from company values to tone of voice.

Shortly after, we began the work of developing the design system as a hub for all team members. Besides design components, we developed patterns for usability, and a toolbox to help coworkers with anything from templates to processes and ways of working.

A crucial part of developing the design system was to spread the use of good design. While developing components, we also served as internal consultants for teams in need of design help. In that way, we could help teams from within to grow in their practice of design thinking and iterative double design processes while ourselves gaining valuable feedback of component usage from real scenarios.

The toolbox.
