How Carbon designs
IBM Carbon is an open-source design system for products and digital experiences.
Design that engineering can take
Carbon practices Design Systems: type, space, and components that survive the first production sprint.

Craft
What we obsess over

Empty, error, and loading are designed too.
Handoff that ships
Tokens and notes an engineer will not ignore.
