Overview

Disclaimer

The project is real, but I've removed identifying information such as brand colors and logos.

Challenge

At a startup with a rotating team of UX designers, the existing style guide overlooked accessibility, leading to inconsistent and inaccessible designs across projects. The task was to create a new design system that ensured accessibility and consistency, making it easy for everyone to use and maintain.

Approach

As a team: Complete a heuristic analysis to determine usability and accessibility issues

Personally: Rebuild the design system while re-designing the product in order to ensure feasibility and usefulness

Outcome

A cohesive design system that worked across all products, including marketing materials. It featured an improved color palette and a cleaner, more accessible aesthetic.
