Design patterns are documented and reusable solutions to common design challenges. A pattern may describe how a menu, filter, sign-up flow or error message should work. It is a recommended solution, not necessarily a finished component.
What do design patterns involve in practice?
In practice, patterns help a team make consistent decisions and avoid solving the same problem in many different ways. They should describe when the pattern is used, what the user needs and which variants or limitations apply.
Design patterns are relevant when several people design or develop the same service. See Pattern library, Design system and Nielsen Norman Group's explanation of design patterns.
