Business Challenge
As digital products expanded, design and development efforts became increasingly fragmented. Teams were recreating patterns, manually translating designs into code, and spending significant time reviewing implementations for quality, accessibility, and consistency.
The organization needed a scalable solution that would improve user experience consistency, accelerate delivery, and enable teams to safely adopt AI-assisted development workflows.
My Role
- Digital Experience Strategy
- Design System Leadership
- AI Workflow Design
- Product Design
- Front-End Architecture
Stakeholders
Partnered with product managers, UX designers, developers, architects, and business stakeholders to establish a unified design and development ecosystem.
The initiative required balancing business goals, design standards, developer efficiency, accessibility requirements, and emerging AI capabilities.
Research & Discovery
Through platform audits, workflow analysis, and cross-functional collaboration, I identified several opportunities to improve both the customer experience and product delivery process.
- Inconsistent experiences across products
- Limited standards for AI-assisted development
- Time-consuming design-to-code reviews
Strategy & Solution
I created a unified design system across Figma, Bootstrap, and React, establishing a single source of truth for both design and development.
Design System
Developed reusable design tokens, components, accessibility standards, and documentation that improved consistency and reduced design debt.
React Component Library
Built a reusable React component library aligned with Figma components, enabling faster development and accessible-by-default experiences.
AI-Enabled Workflow
Implemented bi-directional workflows between Figma and Claude Code, allowing teams to rapidly move between design and implementation while maintaining alignment with established standards.
AI Agents & Skills
Created specialized AI agents and reusable skills that automatically reviewed design system compliance, accessibility requirements, code quality, UI consistency, and acceptance criteria.
Results
- Established a scalable design and development platform
- Improved consistency across products and teams
- Accelerated design-to-development workflows
- Reduced manual review effort through AI-assisted validation
- Improved accessibility and code quality through automated standards enforcement
- Enabled teams to confidently adopt AI-assisted development practices
Key Takeaway
Enabled development teams to increase productivity by 6X.
This initiative transformed a traditional design system into an AI-enabled product delivery platform that connected design, development, accessibility, and governance. By integrating Figma, React, Claude Code, and custom AI agents, I created a framework that improved quality, accelerated delivery, and established a scalable foundation for AI-assisted product development.
