Thumbprint Design Principles
Three principles guiding how Thumbtack's design system team works, focusing on process, documentation, and collaboration.
-
Build with a consistent process
Use toolkits to identify, prioritise, and scope work. Build only what’s essential after considering feedback, accessibility, and future use cases.
-
Communicate and document everything
Create a shared language for designers and developers. Respond quickly to questions, communicate changes, and refine documentation for reliable results.
-
Encourage collaboration and feedback
Encourage contributions and constructive criticism to establish trust. Spread system thinking to a diverse group to clarify what to build and what not to build.
