Design system team models

1. Solitary (“The Overlord”). “A solitary model sees a one team make a system available, but with efforts focused primarily on that team’s needs.”
2. Centralized. “A single, central design team produces and supports a system used by others as a part of their job.”
3. Federated. “Designers from multiple product teams decide on the system together.”
4. Cyclical. A combination of the 2 & 3, where the centrailised 'core team' act as a librarian and facilitate with users outside of the team that keep the DS accurate, current, and useful.
