The project resulted in a unified, Figma-based design system (“WE RED”) that is being rolled out across multiple internal tools, significantly improving consistency, speed of delivery, and cross-team alignment at Würth Elektronik.
Core project outcomes
A centralized pattern and component library was created (buttons, inputs, navigation, tables, states, etc.), giving teams a shared UI language and reducing inconsistencies discovered in the initial audit.
The system is now actively used or being rolled out in key internal products like Talent Acquisition, Payroll Management, Asset Management, HR Operations, and Skill Management, replacing legacy tools and ad‑hoc UIs.
Impact on teams and processes
Designers, developers, and product managers now work from the same tokens, naming conventions, and documented guidelines, improving collaboration and reducing ambiguity in handoff via GitHub issues and shared specs.
With reusable templates, patterns, and documented states, teams can prototype and build faster while focusing more on UX and problem‑solving than on reinventing UI elements for each product.
Ongoing and future work
The team is still expanding and refining the system, exploring formal design tokens with engineering and continuing to integrate it into more products.
Feedback from global employees using the internal tools is being used to iterate on the design system and improve its coverage and usability over time.
