Understanding the Business Needs & Objectives
Establishing a design system is essential to align with business needs and objectives. It serves as the visual and functional backbone, ensuring a consistent and professional look across products. The design system required streamlined development, saved time and resources by providing a set of reusable components, patterns and guidelines for our designers and developers. Investing in a design system supports scalability, accelerates innovation, and contributes to the overall success of the business by creating a unified and polished digital presence.
We have been underway in developing the design system from the ground up. In the last few months, the design and product team have been building an entire new interface and delivering UX improvements across the Brand-facing platform in the last few months and soon will be integrating efforts to the congruent product for creators.
