Small design habit that improved my UI consistency a lot

One thing that quietly improved my UI work was designing all component states together instead of one by one. Earlier my flow was: Design default → Build → Realize hover/active missing → Add random effects Now I do this first: Default state Hover state Active/pressed Disabled (if needed) Designing them side by side keeps spacing, colors, and motion consistent. Also saves dev back-and-forth later. Another bonus: it forces you to think about usability early, not as an afterthought. Not saying it’s the only way, but it made my components feel way more polished. What do you think of this process?   submitted by   /u/Unlikely_Gap_5065 [link]   [comments]
