Design systems architecture is the skill of building scalable, maintainable component libraries that serve 10-100+ designers consistently. It includes: deciding what's a component vs utility, naming components logically, creating token systems (colors, spacing, typography), establishing versioning and governance, and planning for growth (monorepo vs separate packages, Figma org structure). Mastery takes 6-9 months of hands-on building. Architects earn 20-30% premium because they unlock 3-5x team productivity through reuse and consistency.
Design systems architecture is the strategic design of scalable, maintainable component libraries serving large teams. It includes: deciding component granularity (atoms vs molecules), naming conventions, design token systems, dependency graphs, governance (who can change what), versioning, and growth planning. A well-architected design system grows from 20 components to 200+ without becoming unmaintainable. A poorly-architected system becomes a mess at 50 components (circular dependencies, conflicting prop APIs, inconsistent naming).
