Sector: Tech, AI/ML

Challenge: Establish the first ever design system for an AI/ML startup. 


My role: Design lead
Project duration: 3 months

Phase 1:

Listing common components,

Identify common components used heavily across the different features

Working with the development lead we created a list of

First iteration of the template

Reviewed design systems - carbon, lightning, material and we took things that we needed from that

Phase 2:

Modified template by adding interaction notes that addressed the needs of designers and developers

The Figma templates at the time did not address the rules that had to be applied to the different states for Interaction Design.

The overseas development team did not have English as their first language so we had to add interaction notes in pink so it was not lost in the Figma features.

Phase 3:

Execution and review

Continuous review of component specs with comments from business owner (CEO) and the development lead.
