ButcherBox - Freezer 1.0 Design System

The project required a unification effort towards many different workflows, up until this point there was no singular source of truth design library for product teams to work from. This often led to individual squads trying to match the existing system as closely as possible. Unfortunately that often caused storybook, staging, and production to fall out of sync.

Changes would be made from what product squads efforts but would not be effectively communicated to the others. The breakdown in process effected the full product pipeline as designs didn't match what was live and developers often needed to second guess many details when trying ship feature updates or additions.

By the end of the engagement I built a unified design library MVP within Figma utilizing tokens, styles and variables to keep everything in sync. In and outside of Figma the team defined robust documentation for each component along with a detailed process for system updates, additions, and workflow for approvals. In addition to this work I worked with the team to update areas of the product experience that were not meeting accessibility standards to meet WCAG 2.0.
