Introduction

About Carbon Design System:

The Carbon Design System is IBM's open-source design system for products and experiences. With the IBM Design Language primitives at its core, Carbon consists of working code, design tools and resources, and guidelines-all serving, and served by, a vibrant community of contributors.
A design system is a collection of pre-built, reusable assets-components, patterns, guidance, and code-allowing users to build consistent digital experiences faster. Using the pre-built and universal assets of Carbon minimizes the time teams spend designing and building. Instead of building and re-building basic elements, they can spend that time customizing their products to address specific client use cases.
The design system is named Carbon Design System because in nature the element carbon builds complex structures from simpler compounds. This motif mimics how our styles and components can combine to make beautifully complex, natural, and intuitive designs.
