In managing product design for 3 brands, creating and maintaining design systems for each of the products is key to our team’s success and efficiency. Design systems ensure consistency in both the visual design and interaction. With a strong set of components, we are also able to build mocks an average of 4x faster than before.

While building out the different libraries, I made it a priority to include the developers. Each component had microinteractions that needed to be maintained across the site. Previously, the certain buttons and inputs behaved in different ways, creating a disjointed experience for our users. Now, our site has a more consistent feel and expected behavior. In addition, we have been able to launch new products and features 4x quicker and with less bugs.
