Hi Gin team & Drupal community,
As a UX/UI designer working extensively with Drupal, I've really enjoyed using the Gin Admin Theme for its modern aesthetics and improved UX. However, I’ve noticed that there isn’t a design system supporting Gin—no Figma library or centralized UI kit to reference. From what I gather, the theme was developed using a “design in browser” approach, which makes sense for rapid iteration, but it also creates a missed opportunity for designers and developers alike to collaborate more efficiently.
I'd love to propose the creation of a design system for Gin, with the intention of sharing it with the wider Drupal community.
Having a well-defined design system would bring a number of benefits:
I'm volunteering to initiate this effort—starting with a Figma-based UI kit that reflects the current Gin interface. Eventually, it could evolve to include:
I’d love to hear from maintainers and community members:
Thanks for your time, and thanks for all the great work on Gin!
Best,

Hey @kirillsolo
Thanks for your interest in Gin! There are actually efforts underway to create a new design system based on Gin actually.
Consult https://www.figma.com/design/IQNqQnxkUiFjp5GSp9E3nV/Design-System---Drup... to learn how you can get onboarded. You can also ping @ckrina in the Drupal slack.
Thanks again & cheers!
