Design System

Problem

Create a design system to ensure there are consistent and reusable components for a company's intranet redesign.

Breakdown patterns into components, with Kendo React as a starting point
Define how and when to use components and patterns and begin to build pages
Create design system with advanced prototyping tool to ensure developers understand how to build each component's microinteractions
