Primary Contributions

Strategy

• Generated a staffing and process plan to determine how a dedicated design system team would fit in and work with other teams across the LinOS portfolio

• Developed and implemented a cross-functional design system strategy that considers both design and development across ~6+ LinOS applications

Design

• Built and maintained a robust UI component library within Figma–creating generic, responsive, reusable components that are easy for other designers to use within mockups and accurately reflect coded components

• Managed designers across the portfolio to ensure consistency and accurate usage of design system components within designs

Front-End Development

• Managed the design system development team to ensure accurate implementation of design system components as outlined in Figma and Jira; making sure that these components can easily be reused by multiple application teams in different contexts

• Taught design system developers best practices for writing documentation; giving concrete direction on how to best utilize and templatize Storybook for LinOS components

Product + Project Management

• Prioritization of design system work based on the needs of all other LinOS teams

• Identified upcoming changes to design system components based on designer mockups; then translated those requirements into Jira tickets for the design system dev team

• Creation and maintenance of design documentation related to LinOS styles and UI component functionality that assists designers, developers, and BAs

• Created and distributed design system surveys to gauge perception and gather feedback on how the team could improve

• Informally mentored designers, front-end developers, QA, BAs, and Scrum Masters across the portfolio on what a design system is, why it is important, best practices of how to utilize one and work with our team, and how to utilize it to build applications for different devices and resolutions
