Core components and foundations

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.
