Focus

Design systems, UI consistency, scalability

Duration

July 2020 – December 2020

Methods

Component audit, pattern library, stakeholder review

Problem

As the product grew, the interface had become less consistent. Similar components behaved differently, patterns had started to drift, and the experience felt more fragmented than it should have.

That inconsistency affected both the people using the product and the teams working on it, making design and delivery slower and less predictable.

Approach

The first step was to understand what already existed. That meant reviewing components, identifying repeated patterns, and looking at where inconsistency was creating unnecessary friction.

From there, the focus was on defining a clearer system, establishing reusable patterns, improving consistency, and giving teams a more reliable structure to work from.

Outcome

The result was a more coherent interface and a stronger shared foundation for future work. Design decisions became easier to apply consistently, and delivery gained more speed and certainty.

It also helped create a clearer connection between interface choices and the broader product experience.
