Building a Scalable Design System
Before redesigning individual workflows, I established a scalable design system that would become the foundation for the entire platform. The goal was to create consistency, improve collaboration with developers, and enable the product to scale as new features were introduced.
Spacing
After evaluating different spacing approaches, I adopted an 8pt spacing system to create consistency across layouts and components. A standardized scale reduced design inconsistencies and streamlined collaboration with development.
8pt spacing system
Built on multiples of 8 for consistent spacing.
Consistent visual rhythm
Predictable spacing improved readability and scanning.
Scalable foundation
Reusable spacing values ensured consistency across the product.
