Built and scaled a design system.
Overview
Setting the Scene
The project involved adapting an existing design system, restructuring foundational elements, and modifying core components to align with the unique user experience and layout constraints of the GenWizard Marketplace platform.
Core Responsibilities
1. Team Coordination & Workflow Management
- Coordinated design system updates with project manager and design team
- Established review workflows and component approval processes
2. Design System Architecture
- Restructured foundational elements and component hierarchy
- Documented component usage guidelines and accessibility standards
- Created scalable patterns for marketplace-specific UI needs
Specific Area Of Focus
Cards
Created responsive cards that adjust to varying content types.
Dropdowns
Developed comprehensive state matrices (Default, Hover, Active, Disabled, Error) handling complex filtering logic required for marketplace navigation.
Buttons
Standardized button hierarchies (primary, secondary, and tertiary), comprehensive state matrices (hover, focus, active, disabled), icon integration, and adherence to interactive accessibility standards.
Business Value and Impact
- Achieved 30% faster component implementation across product teams
- Reduced design inconsistency through standardized component library
- Minimized handoff friction between design and engineering with detailed documentation
