Bringing Structure to Chaos
Bringing Structure to Chaos
While working across multiple projects, I observed growing inconsistencies in the UI—ranging from color mismatches, inconsistent icon usage, duplicated components, and styling discrepancies. These variations not only affected the visual harmony of the product but also led to confusion and miscommunication between designers and developers. Developers often reached out repeatedly to clarify design specifications or request assets, which highlighted the absence of a centralized, scalable source of truth.
To tackle this, I collaborated with the design lead and engineering team to establish a comprehensive and flexible design system using Figma. This included standardized colors, typography, iconography, spacing rules, and reusable components.

The Challenge
The Challenge
Every new project or phase required starting from scratch, leading to inconsistencies in UI components and unnecessary repetition. No standardized guidelines, meant designers frequently reinvented the wheel, causing inefficiencies in both design and development.
To solve this, I focused on:
Recreating old components with a unified design approach.
Gathering past use cases and defining a system for future scalability.

Building the System
Building the System
Starting with a style guide, I structured the system around existing brand guidelines while integrating new elements. The design system encompassed:
Core elements: Icon libraries, color palettes, grids, corner radii, shadows, typography, buttons, and input fields.
Component library: Well-defined UI components, each with clear documentation on naming, states, and breakpoints.
Annotations & guidelines: To facilitate seamless communication between designers and developers.

The implementation of the design system brought a significant transformation to our workflow. It streamlined communication between teams, sped up development, and drastically reduced repetitive tasks. Designers were able to move faster without worrying about foundational elements, and developers could confidently refer to a consistent source.
To ensure proper adoption and long-term consistency, I proactively reviewed designs to confirm the correct usage of components and offered feedback wherever manual styling crept in. This continuous loop of implementation and monitoring helped the system grow sustainably while keeping the design quality intact.
