1 - Large System Contributor
For 2 years I was a user and contributor to a corporate design system that served a team of 60 designers. This system used slots, variables, and composed components. As a contributor I added components and documentation to the system, and created cheat sheets for the developers for common composed components.
2 - Built a Figma System for a Startup
When I joined the startup as the sole designer for the global engineering team of 10, I performed a UX audit of the application and created a strategy for the user experience. To support the execution of the UX strategy, I built a Figma design system using MUI react components, Storybook frames, and Gitlab documentation.
