Design Systems and Components
Components and design systems serve as the building blocks of consistent, scalable, and user-centered products. Research plays a pivotal role in shaping the guidelines that drive the creation of these systems. By understanding user needs, empathy, pain points, and how they interact with legacy software, I develop components that align with real-world workflows and expectations. Research findings inform design decisions, from accessibility considerations to interaction patterns, ensuring every component addresses user challenges effectively. This research-driven process guarantees that the design system is not just a repository of reusable elements but a living framework tailored to human-centered experiences. By basing every guideline and component on research, I ensure that the product evolves with the users’ needs, delivering intuitive solutions that foster trust and efficiency.
My Experience and Process
I have extensive experience in creating and maintaining design systems, ensuring consistency and efficiency across projects. I’ve worked closely with partner design contractors, guiding them on the necessary elements and components to align with system requirements. My work includes designing a variety of system icons, such as simulation behavior icons, and ensuring all designs adhere to the rules established by the design system. This includes maintaining consistency in fonts, colors, and interaction patterns, with every component carefully organized and updated within our Figma files. By adhering to these standards, I ensure a seamless and cohesive user experience across all products while streamlining collaboration and scalability for future projects.
