A design system streamlines collaboration between teams, speeds up the design process, and ensures coherence and quality of the product across all user touchpoints
Role UX Lead | UX/UI Designer Collaborate with team members to develop a cohesive system and effective system that meets the needs of end users.
Mission - Scope Design System Create and maintain reusable design components, ensuring accessibility and usability for all users.
Duration 16 months - In progress The project started in 2022 and is ongoing, expanding components according to different projects
OVERVIEW
Developing a unified framework of principles, guidelines, and tools is crucial to steer the design process seamlessly across various platforms and technologies. This ensures the creation of user-centric products and experiences that are not only consistent and efficient but also resonate with the target audience.
The implementation of the design system has significantly enhanced the efficiency of both the design and development teams. By providing a common language and shared resources, it fosters cohesion and collaboration among different departments. Moreover, it guarantees a superior user experience across all interactions with the brand, reinforcing trust.
