Component stories
Stories for variants, states, responsive behavior, loading, empty, disabled, error, and edge cases.

Storybook for design-system decisions
I help turn Storybook from a component gallery into a source of truth: states, props, tokens, usage rules, accessibility notes, and documentation that Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and other AI agents can read.
ven1aone ~ %Problem
A component gallery becomes useful when it answers product questions
Which component should be used, which states are allowed, how props map to design variants, what accessibility requires, and what agents can reuse safely: a good Storybook answers those questions by itself.

What I can set up or improve
Design tokens
Token documentation that connects names, semantic meaning, CSS variables, and component usage.
Usage guidelines
Agreements for designers, engineers, and AI agents: Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and internal tools.
Accessibility notes
Keyboard behavior, focus states, contrast requirements, labels, and interaction constraints.

How the work is structured
Inventory
Review existing React components, Figma variants, stories, token files, and docs.
Structure
Define naming, grouping, story hierarchy, required states, and documentation patterns.
Documentation
Write usage examples, constraints, prop guidance, and component notes for AI.
Review loop
Check the result with designers and engineers so Storybook reflects the real product language.
What to expect
- Storybook does not make product decisions by itself: product thinking and engineering review stay with the team.
- Only what actually exists in the product goes into the documentation: states, props, and rules. I will not gloss it up.
- If the component library has inconsistencies, this work makes them visible to the whole team.
FAQ
Can you work with an existing Storybook?
Yes. The work can be an audit, cleanup, documentation work, token cleanup, or a deeper rebuild of the Storybook structure.
Is this only for designers?
No. A good Storybook is used by designers, engineers, QA, product managers, and AI agents: everyone who needs reliable component context.
Do you write code too?
Yes. I work with React component structure, props, examples, documentation, and Storybook stories. The final word on code stays with your engineers.
How do we start?
We look at the current Storybook, React components, Figma variants, tokens, and the questions the team keeps answering again and again. Then I propose the smallest structure that closes the most frequent ones.
How long does it take?
A Storybook audit or cleanup usually fits into 1–2 weeks. A deeper setup with states, tokens, usage rules, and AI documentation takes 2–4 weeks.
Can this work be async?
Yes. Storybook is built for this: I leave changes, notes, and checklists asynchronously, and we meet only when a decision needs a live conversation.
