The system behind
scalable products.
One set of tokens, foundations and components that kept a fast-growing product consistent — across mobile and web, light and dark, and a whole team building in parallel.
As the product grew, the UI drifted — so I built the system that kept it whole.
- Owned it end to end — from token structure to how it shipped in code.
- Six foundations, twelve components, every state speced.
- One source of truth across mobile and web, light and dark.
A strong system starts with a foundation
As the product grew, the UI drifted — every screen reinventing its own spacing, colour and components.
I owned the system end to end, from the structure of the tokens to how they shipped in code. Palette, type, grid, elevation, spacing and icons were streamlined into one scalable set of decisions, so designers and developers could finally build from the same source of truth — consistent across mobile and web, light and dark.
The tokens
Six foundations every screen is built from — defined once, reused everywhere.
Color system
A scalable ramp aligned with the brand, with full light- and dark-mode surfaces and a complete set of semantic colours.
Typography
A scalable type system with consistent roles and hierarchy — improving readability and structure across the product.
Grid & layout
A responsive 12-column grid with consistent gutters and margins — one structure that holds from phone to desktop.
Elevation & shadows
A five-step elevation scale that signals hierarchy and depth without ever feeling heavy.
Spacing & radius
A 4-point spacing scale and a small set of radii keep rhythm and roundness consistent everywhere.
Icons
Built on Phosphor Icons — a modern, multi-weight set with 9,000+ glyphs, so the UI scaled without drawing a new icon every week.
Core interaction components
Twelve building blocks, each with every state speced — so a screen is assembled, not redrawn.
The system, assembled
The same tokens and components, composed into the real product — proof the foundation holds.
Great products grow faster when the foundation is solid.Why the system came first
What the system unlocked
Structure to how the team worked, a lift in product quality, and a stronger base for whatever comes next.
Reusable components and clear patterns let designers and developers move faster with far less repeated work. Great products grow faster when the foundation is solid.
