Design system governance, on subscription
Design systems fail in the maintenance, not the making. Veradin owns the upkeep: library hygiene, token architecture, drift control, and handoff quality, delivered on a monthly cadence your team can plan around.
Start a projectWhat you get every month
Monthly drift report
Scored, with every finding ranked by user-facing impact. You always know where shipped UI diverged from the system and what gets fixed first.
Token changelog
Figma Variables kept in lockstep with the codebase, versioned, so engineers can diff design decisions like code.
Figma library governance
Components, variants, and structure maintained month over month, not audited once and left to rot.
Code Connect mappings + Storybook upkeep
Design and code point at the same source of truth, so handoff stops being archaeology.
Dev-handoff specs
Written to WCAG 2.2 AA against real component APIs, so engineers stop guessing.
One active workstream
Committed weekly delivery against the roadmap. Focus is the feature, not the limitation.
Async request queue
A Loom or a doc is enough to file work. No meeting required.
Monthly review
Thirty minutes: what shipped, what is next, what the drift report says.
Pause or scale any month
No annual lock-in. The roster is capped, so pausing releases your seat to the waitlist.
Pricing
System Audit
from $4,900one-time
Two weeks, full findings report, prioritized roadmap. Standalone value, and the entry point for governance.
Governance
$6,900/month
The full maintenance layer: monthly audit cycle, token and library governance, drift reports, handoff specs. Annual commitment saves 20%.
Capped roster: governance is taken on for a limited number of teams at a time, because the value is principal attention, not throughput.
Questions
What is design system governance?
Design system governance is the ongoing ownership of a product team's design system: keeping the Figma library, design tokens, documentation, and developer handoff accurate as the product changes. It is the maintenance discipline that stops a design system from drifting back into inconsistency after it ships.
How much does design system governance cost?
Veradin's governance subscription is $6,900 per month with a 20% saving on annual commitment. Every engagement starts with a two-week system audit from $4,900, which is priced standalone so you can take the findings anywhere.
Who is this for?
Funded SaaS teams with 2 to 20 product designers who have a design system nobody formally owns. If your library was built during a redesign and has been drifting since, that is the exact situation this service exists for.
Why a subscription instead of a one-time cleanup?
A one-time cleanup decays immediately, because the thing that broke your system is still there: nobody owns maintenance. Governance is an operating rhythm, not a project.
How does the audit work?
Two weeks inside your Figma org and component codebase. You get a scored findings report covering library health, token coverage, drift, and handoff quality, plus a prioritized roadmap. It is useful standalone, and it is how every governance engagement starts.
Who does the work?
Rachel Sylvestro, a design leader with 15 years across enterprise platforms including Boeing and global CMS systems at enterprise scale. Production is AI-assisted, review and judgment are principal-level and human.
What tools do you work in?
Figma and Figma variables, Code Connect, token pipelines such as Style Dictionary, and your component codebase in React or comparable frameworks.
Find out what your system is costing you.
The audit is scoped, priced, and useful on its own. Two weeks, one report, a clear path, and the fee credits toward your first month.
