Kartu Design System is the first design system from Tog Lab, a Brazilian consultancy that develops products for companies from various parts of the world, particularly in Brazil and the United States of America.

Our main goal and key metric were to streamline the product development process for our clients, especially those who don’t have an established brand or assets like colors or typography. Kartu Design has already been used in over 3 different projects, making it a success in achieving what we set out to do.

Project Deadline: 4 months.
