Pika Style UI Platform
Design system + component acceleration platform for rapid UI prototyping and consistent theming.
Project Overview
Pika Style centralizes primitives, design tokens, and accessibility patterns into a lean, performance‑oriented UI layer. The objective was to enable teams to move from concept to interactive prototype in minutes while enforcing consistency and a11y quality at scale. We engineered a token pipeline, layered component abstractions, and an opt-in styling strategy that keeps bundles small while remaining expressive.

Design System Overview
Key Features
- Token-driven theming with dark/light & brand variants
- Composable, accessibility-first primitive components
- Automated docs + interactive playground integration
- Tree-shakeable utility layers & CSS extraction
- Live design token inspector & sync hooks
- ARIA compliance baked into core patterns
Challenges
- Avoiding style bloat with growing component surface
- Keeping primitives flexible but opinionated for a11y
- Synchronizing design token changes across environments
- Minimizing perceptual drift between design & runtime
Solutions
- Atomic token emission + layered variable fallback
- Headless primitives with structured props + a11y guards
- Token registry + versioned artifact distribution
- Visual regression suite & semantic release pipeline
