Rapid product and team growth led to misalignment of visual vocabulary between the product ecosystem and the product team
Years of drift and debt had accrued. Lack of visual vocabulary across teams.

We performed several rounds of audits including how we use banners, color and the types of reusable components used across our product line. We also factored in mobile experiences and other products.
This effort was very large in scope. It involved several rounds of auditing and interviews. Component rebuild, page templates, foundation repair, color theming, front-end component and documentation
Intensive audits were preformed to understand current usage across our product for both web and mobile. We identified what’s working and what’s drifting. We then introduced new components across our Figma libraries and codebase for engineer reference.
We were able to publish a full-scale design system to bridge a gap between design and engineering. We also began implementing design tokens that were projected to save hours of time and effort.
