DESIGN SYSTEM - COMPONENT LIBRARY
Quick Summary
The Atomic Design principle uses the concept of atoms and molecules to set up a Design Language System. Having worked on maintaining and creating design systems, I created one for Nimbuzz Kurakaani, Nepal's Super App, as a part of their application redesign.
Project Description
Nimbuzz Kurakaani is Nepal's digital platform that houses multiple services like shopping, chat, quizzing, money transfer & much more in one app.
I was commissioned as a UI Designer to Redesign the app by creating a component-based system.
Goals of the redesign
Update the design language to have a modern and cheerful vibe for a younger audience
Create a system that is scalable and easy to maintain
Inculcate different platform guidelines to improve the designs
Old Design of the connect and quiz screens
Old Design of the courses and shop screens
My Approach
Having worked on multiple projects where I've used a component library, I started with an Atomic Design approach to creating a component library.

Outcome of the project
With the creation of a design library, the time to design flows and screens reduced by ~60%
The hand-off process got easier as the components were defined in one place and developers could pick the specs from there.
The flows in the application were more refined and clear compared to the earlier version. This meant easy communication across teams.
