Our client had starting points already for two design systems catering to different business units. We came alongside their teams to facilitate consistency and help them think through a common standard and vocabulary that the company could easily scale across the business – with a goal of increasing operational efficiency while reducing risks.
To facilitate consistency across brands and platforms, we analyzed existing digital properties and multiple sources of internal brand standards to develop a more consistent, streamlined approach to design components and code creation.
The company’s internal teams needed to do more in less time, so we worked to simplify workflows and bridge gaps between teams – making every effort more effective and every interaction more productive.
In the face of steep accessibility fine costs, the volume of websites the company created each year represented a huge exposure to risk. Our team centralized UI, UX, and accessibility standards within the design system, so designers and developers could create fearlessly.
Once we implemented the design system, it quickly spread to other parts of the organization, compounding results. We continue to build and scale the system in a process of ongoing evolution so that it delivers consistency and value over time.
