·
A design system initiative to bring consistency to a growing product suite — covering foundations, components, patterns, and documentation for design and engineering teams.
Goals
- Reduce design drift across products
- Shorten handoff time between design and development
- Improve accessibility and responsive behavior by default
What I Delivered
- Foundations: Color, typography, spacing, elevation, and motion tokens
- Components: Buttons, inputs, navigation, cards, modals, and data display patterns
- Documentation: Usage guidelines, do/don't examples, and accessibility notes
- Figma library: Shared components with variants and auto-layout
Impact
- Cut UI review cycles by giving teams a shared vocabulary
- Enabled faster prototyping with pre-built, tested patterns
- Raised baseline accessibility through documented contrast and focus states
Approach
Started with an audit of existing UI across three products, identified duplication and inconsistencies, then prioritized high-traffic components first. Shipped incrementally with designer and developer feedback loops.
