Scalable Design System
As a team lead, I helped refactor and scale a design system used by hundreds of product designers and developers to multiple target platforms over the course of a full year. I was heavily involved in all aspects of growing and maintaining the various component and pattern libraries, including:
- Setting up a robust architecture of interdependent libraries;
- Creating and maintaining semantic design tokens;
- Building and documenting complex, theme-able component variant groups;
- Enforcing WCAG accessibility criteria;
- Training and supporting a large, distributed design team about features and best practices;
- Building private Figma plugins to address unique challenges;
