Design Systems vs. Pattern Libraries vs. Style Guides - What's the Difference?

#DesignSystems #PatternLibraries #StyleGuide

Design System – the complete set of design standards, documentation, and principles along with the toolkit (UI patterns and code components) to achieve those standards.
Pattern Library – A subclass in the design system, this is the set of design patterns for use across a company.
Style guide – Another subclass in the design system, this static documentation describes the design system itself: how products should look and feel, use cases for UI patterns, correct typographic scales, etc.
