Svelte components work in isolation. They are self-contained and will only inject the styles they need to display.

I partner with little startups and well-known unicorns to establish and extend design systems with product design, component development, design tokens, prototyping, plugins, and consulting.
These are a few of the common questions I’ve received over the years. Reach out if you’d like to hear more.
Having spent a lot of time on design and engineering teams I’m able to help small startups and established companies as a generalist in a variety of ways.
During our initial meetings we’ll determine what work is required for your project and the phases needed to complete it. I can also refer you to other designers and developers if I’m not able to help you.
At its most basic, a design system is a collection of design and developer assets that can increase product development velocity, reduce tech debt and repetition, and increase user interface consistency.
With the complexity of building modern applications many companies have adopted design systems and often dedicate entire teams to build and maintain them.
Though most small companies don’t have a need for such full-time attention, even a small design system will bring speed and consistency benefits and serve as a foundation as the product evolves.
Projects that can be well-scoped will be quoted on a fixed-price basis. If the work is exploratory or you prefer an open-ended engagement I can charge at an hourly rate. I also offer discounted rates for non-profits and educational institutions.
For design I use Figma to plan, test, and build components and libraries.
Code projects are built in React, Svelte, with an optional functional CSS library to help with layout and responsiveness. All code is managed and tracked in a private Github repository or can be located in your Github organization.
Acesss to the design files and code will be granted early in the process with ownership of them handed over at the conclusion of the project.
Have other requirements? Let me know!
For design systems projects I will commonly provide…
And regardless of the type of project, all deliverables will be clearly detailed in our working agreement.
I’m Tom Genoni, a designer and developer living in San Francisco.
I’ve always been interested in understanding the process of building products and why great design so often turns into not-so-great user experiences. Working in design systems has provided a perfect intersection of these interests and I love the challenges of keeping the chaos at bay.
I also like cats, boring documentaries, and sour candy.
I′d love to know if I can help with your project. Send me a few details and we′ll talk.
