Atomic Design in React Native
In this video, I’m walking through how I set up the foundation of a React Native app, starting from a fresh Expo project and reorganizing everything into a clean, scalable architecture.
We’ll create the app using create-expo-app, remove all the default boilerplate, introduce atomic design, and build out a folder structure that makes the rest of development way easier.
What we’re covering:
• Creating an Expo project with the tabs template
• Deleting default screens, assets, and template code
• How atomic design works in a real codebase
• Organizing screens into onboarding, auth, and main flows
• Breaking components into atoms, molecules, and organisms
• Setting up a clean folder architecture for long-term scalability
This video is part of my full app-building series, where I document taking an app from idea → design → code → launch.
But you can watch this on its own if you’re here to learn how to structure a modern Expo project the right way.
