About this service

Summary

I create cohesive design systems and guidelines using cutting-edge tools like Figma, ZeroHeight, and Storybook. They enable me to build reusable components as well as typography, color, and motion recommendations that promote your brand's consistency across all digital platforms. My final deliverables are conceived to streamline collaboration between teams and scale your brand effectively.

Process

1. Brief
• I start by listening and understanding your goals, target audience, and desired outcomes.
• You provide key assets such as branding guidelines, available user/competitor research, and reference materials.
2. Debrief
• I come back with a scope proposal that recaps and confirms the brief, identifying areas where a design system can streamline workflows and enhance user experience.
• We brainstorm together the way forward and align expectations, defining key delivery and success criteria.
3. Plan
• I suggest a customized timeline, outlining the key milestones that will bring our vision to life.
Client feedback rounds: 1
4. Design & prototyping
• I conduct additional research and gather key insights to inform the design process.
• I create detailed design documents that outline the system architecture, components, interfaces, and data flow.
• I generate prototypes to visualize and test the design. This can include sketches, wireframes, or interactive models.
Client feedback rounds: 2
5. Development
• I build a comprehensive design system including UI components, typography, color palettes, and interaction guidelines using tools like Figma, Adobe XD, or Sketch to ensure a centralized and scalable design library.
Client feedback rounds: 1
6. Testing & quality assurance
• I verify the system for any bugs or issues.
7. Refinement & finalization
• I incorporate findings from the verification stage to fine-tune your design system.
• I ensure the final deliverables meet all requirements agreed on the scope.
8. Handoff & implementation support
• I deliver developer-ready files with detailed annotations and documentation for seamless implementation.
• I provide light support during development to address design-related queries and ensure fidelity to the design.
9. Wash-up
• We have a feedback session to reflect on the collaboration and discuss upcoming projects.
• This is also your final chance to get my assistance with minor troubleshooting or adjustments.
Please note that further post-handoff support and changes are charged separately.
