Welcome!
Water is a guide for building UX design systems. It’s a place to find all the whys, hows, and whens you need to create your own design rules.
We don’t invent wheels
We collected wisdom from both old and new systems, physical and digital, to provide the foundational context for design systems that can stand the test of time — and are as fluid as Water.
How it works
Only you know what’s best for your product, but we show what’s been done before, why it works (or doesn’t), and guide you through the next steps.
About us
We’re two neurodivergent designers that realized our lives would be easier (and our flows more accessible) if everyone’s design system didn’t have to start from scratch. We wanted a place to define the fundamentals, so designers could focus on personalizing their guidelines, not inventing them.
