Designing a Unified System
To create a seamless design system, we focused on modularity, scalability, and accessibility. Standardized components, clear typography, and well-defined colors ensured a cohesive and efficient workflow for designers and developers alike.
Challenges
Understanding the problems
Elevate UI faced major inefficiencies due to inconsistency in design and development. The lack of unified styles and documentation led to slower iterations and misalignment across teams.
