About the New York State Design System

Our Vision

A team dedicated to improving design system maturity and creating a core set of design resources and guidelines to support product work at the state.

Our Mission

Consistent & Coherent​

A library of consistent, reusable front-end UI patterns means a more cohesive UX and brand experience across apps and services. Fewer support requests from residents and cost savings for agencies.​

Better Standardization​

A clear repository of best practices reduces confusion and decreases the time it takes for new engineers and vendors to ramp up.​

Accessible by Default

Built-in accessibility testing and automation means a greater chance that people with disabilities will be able to use our software (and reduced liability for agencies.)​
