personas
- title: Design system leadpains:
- Documentation becomes stale as components and tokens change.
- Proving adoption and coordinating changes across product teams consumes scarce system capacity.
- title: Design engineering leadpains:
- Manual token exports and code updates create drift between Figma and production.
- Developers need trustworthy component guidance inside their workflow.
- title: Design operations directorpains:
- Multiple brands and product groups need governed but accessible documentation.
- Central teams struggle to support more contributors without a maintenance burden.
icp
- text: Digital product companies with dedicated design system ownership and multiple designers and engineers sharing components.
- text: Larger or multi-brand organizations seeking private documentation, governance and automated design-to-code workflows.
message pillars
- text: Unify design and code data for teams and agents.
- text: Keep component health and tokens aligned.
- text: Automate delivery of changes into code.
objections
- objection: We already document components in Figma and Storybook.response: Position Supernova as a shared layer connecting those sources, documentation and code automation; validate the integration with a small system first.
- objection: A new platform will add maintenance work.response: Pilot a limited set of tokens and documentation and measure upkeep and time saved before expanding.
