Design Systems
My Experience
Over the course of my career at Rivalry Corp, I created hundreds of components, contributing to both our Main Site Design System and our Software Tooling System.

The Problem We Faced
We had a unmaintained Design System for our software tooling. This led to inconsistencies and inefficient work flows. Eventually the gap in consistency grew larger and larger, leading to usability issues and a slower workflow between design and dev.
Foundations
We started with a new design system foundation to address concerns stakeholders had about consistency and overall visuals.
Components
I built hundreds of new components for this system to serve both new and existing use cases.
Accessibility & Contrast
I tested to make sure our new semantic palette met WCAG AAA Standards.
Documentation & Governance
I created documentation to make sure that people knew how to use our tools and understand why we made the decisions we did. I also assigned designers to different areas of the system to maintain consistency
