    What’s helped me is creating a design system early on, even a simple one, with reusable components and patterns. It saves time when every second counts. I also lean into collaborative tools like Figma, which keeps the team aligned in real time. When deadlines loom, I prioritize user-critical elements first, like navigation and readability, and defer secondary tweaks. Remember, consistency doesn’t mean perfection—it means clarity.

    What's been a game changer for me is setting up a design system early in the project even a basic one. It includes reusable components and patterns that streamline my workflow, especially when time is tight. I also make heavy use of collaborative tools like Figma to keep the team aligned in real time. When facing tight deadlines, I prioritize critical elements such as navigation and readability, while postponing less crucial tweaks. It's important to remember that consistency in design is more about clarity than perfection.

    To juggle time constraints and maintain design consistency, I rely on design systems, reusable components, and style guides to streamline processes. Prioritizing tasks ensures that critical elements align with the overall vision. Collaboration with developers and stakeholders helps identify constraints early, allowing for feasible adjustments. By conducting periodic design reviews and leveraging feedback, I ensure that consistency isn't compromised, even under tight deadlines.
