At Beyond Agency, I spearheaded the creation of a foundational design system that served as the starting point for all a lot of projects. This comprehensive system covered a spectrum of processes, including:
- QA (Quality Assurance): Ensuring design consistency and accuracy across all projects.
-Architectural Design: Setting a robust and scalable framework for all design initiatives.
- Online Library: Hosting a vast collection of design assets, components, and guidelines for easy accessibility.
- Version Control: Implementing a system to track design changes, updates, and iterations.
- Collaboration & Feedback: Tools and protocols for team collaboration, allowing for real-time feedback and design critiques.
- Accessibility Standards: Ensuring designs are compliant with accessibility standards, benefiting all user demographics.
- Responsive Design Workflows: Procedures for ensuring designs work seamlessly across various devices and screen sizes.
- Integration with Development: Establishing a bridge between design and development teams, ensuring smooth handoffs.
- Design Token Management: Standardizing design variables like colors, typography, and spacing for consistent branding.
- Documentation: Maintaining comprehensive documentation detailing design rationale, usage guidelines, and best practices.
This foundational design system not only streamlined our project initiation but also bolstered our efficiency and cohesion across all agency endeavors.
