Case Study: Soundtrap revitalizes its design system roadmap with Belka's design system audit

Soundtrap audits its design system after 6 years with Belka

Soundtrap, a cloud-based audio creation platform, was facing challenges with its "Mango" design system after a change in management and team size. The design and development teams were misaligned, using a mix of outdated and new components, and needed guidance. They engaged the vendor, Belka, to conduct a Design System Audit to diagnose the problems.

Belka performed an audit using their "5 Pillars" method, which included interviews and code analysis, to identify key issues. They then coached the Soundtrap team through workshops, helping them create a new roadmap and establish a pilot team for an updated component library. This process aligned the design system with product goals and successfully gained leadership buy-in for new initiatives.
