Creating a student mobile design system


Overview

The University of Canterbury's app was designed to give students a central place to access campus information and resources throughout their time at university.
Over several years of design and development, an accumulation of design files and ad hoc developer updates had led to inconsistencies across the app, with no documentation to guide ongoing development.
As Senior UX Designer, I led the continued design of the app, working closely with developers, business analysts and product managers. The focus of this project was to establish a design system with clear documentation, reusable components and foundations that reduced inconsistencies between design and development.
