Design systems have become increasingly popular among designers and organizations, as they provide a structured approach to design and help ensure consistency across both products and services. However, there is limited previous research on the advantages and disadvantages of design systems and their impact on usability. This thesis aims to fill this gap by exploring the use of design systems and their impact on the design process and usability of systems at Sveriges Television (SVT). The research methodology used in this thesis was a qualitative approach that consisted of semi-structured interviews and a focus group interview. The research questions were: “What advantages and disadvantages do people with UX-related positions at SVT see with the use of Design Systems?”, “What would a design system contribute with in regards to usability and ease of use in SVT's internal systems?” and “What could a proposal of guidelines for a design system at SVT look like?”. The study provides valuable insights into the advantages and disadvantages of design systems and their possible impact on usability. Design systems can increase effectiveness in the design process as well as provide structure and organization to the design resources. However, they also come with time and resource costs as well as a decrease in creative freedom. Design systems can aid usability by providing consistency and making it easier for users to navigate and understand products and services. Designers should also involve end users in the design process to ensure that the systems are made for the user instead of only solving the problem.
