Shopify and Airbnb, both apply modularity towards certain elements so they can be reused in multiple places.


This way, modularity gives the designer more freedom and flexibility to use these readymade modules since they can be customized, upgraded, repaired, and reused-therefore, allowing them to concentrate more on other aspects of a design solution. As you can imagine, modularity greatly streamlines the design process!Ī button, for instance, can become an element in an UI kit that can be repeated in multiple places over time. Similar to how bricks and lumber contribute to the reusability of readymade materials for building a home, modularity in design allows designers to use a module (or a fixed element) as a building block that contributes to a larger design system, which then becomes a shared language used by a team.
