# Core principles

> These principles form the foundation of our design system. They guide our team when working on different parts of the system and help us do better and more informed decisions.

## Include people

We include people into the process to build trust, share understanding, and co-create solutions. We want everyone using our system to become a design system champion.

## Promote consistency

Consistency enhances clarity and makes our system more predictable and easy to use. We use the same language and patterns wherever possible.

## Embrace accessibility

Accessibility is in the core of the World Wide Web. We embrace it by making our system available to, and accessible by, everyone.

## Reduce complexity

Modularity reduces complexity and improves our design system’s reusability by breaking it into small, easy to consume parts.

## Support adaptability

Our design system adapts to product teams’ changing goals and contexts, enabling multiple pathways instead of enforcing a single way to work.

## Empower with AI

We build AI features for every part of the design and development journey. From expert guidance on our system, to generating user interfaces of the future.
