Frontend task or transformation process?

Some projects need clean components. Others a new frontend architecture. We do both — and recognize the difference before you pay for it.

The foundation

General services

Consulting

Qualitative, structural, and technical analysis of corporate design, brand compliance, and design systems. Advisory in transformation and migration processes.

Orchestration

Preparation and coordination of design processes, frontend development, and hand-offs between design, engineering, and business. Governance that works in everyday operations.

Concept & Design

Building and evolving design systems — tokens, components, documentation. Machine-readable, versioned, procurement-ready.

Specific services

Building blocks for sovereign design systems

  1. Design System Audit

    Honest inventory: what's there, what's missing, what it costs you. Clear recommendation instead of an 80-page report.

    • Inventory
    • Gap analysis
    • Assessment
    • Recommendation

  2. Token Engineering

    Tokens as API. DTCG-compliant, versioned, procurement-ready — from the first spec to a clean migration.

    • Spec
    • Build
    • Release
    • Migration

  3. AI Integration

    Machine-readable foundation for LLMs. Knowledge base, access layer, and compliance guardrails instead of a black box.

    • Machine-readable foundation
    • Knowledge base
    • Access layer
    • Compliance guardrails

  4. Governance Setup

    Roles, processes, quality gates, adoption. Governance that works in everyday operations — not gathering dust on the wiki.

    • Roles
    • Processes
    • Quality gates
    • Adoption

  5. Team Enablement

    Workshops for design, engineering, and business. From token workflow to AI brief — knowledge that lands in the repo.

    • Skill mapping
    • Workshops
    • Artefacts
    • Multipliers
Constellations

Who we work with.

For corporates

Multiple brands, platforms, and teams — yet one consistent frontend. Tokens as API, components as the contract between design and engineering. A single source of truth, not manual brand compliance.

For agencies and institutions

KERN-native implementations, BFSG- and BITV-compliant, procurement-ready. Domain-specific extensions, durable instead of tool-driven.

For startups

Whoever builds fast today often builds on US infrastructure — and looks the part. We build for startups that see sovereignty as differentiation: own token stack, EU hosting, AI as a tool instead of a look.
