Impact

The Dwelling Design System has significantly improved Raymour & Flanigan’s design workflows:

Consistency: Design inconsistencies reduced by ~50%, with a 60% drop in detached component instances.
Efficiency: Documentation reduced the need for clarifications, enabling the team to work more independently.
Adoption: System health was increased 20% in the first two months of beginning documentation efforts, and currently maintains a 60% health rate.

While token implementation and code refactoring are ongoing, the system has inspired greater engagement among designers, fostering tool adoption and contribution. End users—designers and developers—have expressed enthusiasm for the system’s impact on their workflows. This progress at the end of 2024 has led us into 2025 with the momentum to tackle the next steps in the process.
