Summary

With the design firm, Informed XP, I joined the DesignOps team tasked with migrating and updating the design system for a long-standing project with the Freddie Mac Multifamily Division. This project aimed to audit and move all assets from Sketch into Figma, ensure all assets met WCAG AA accessibility guidelines, and set up design tokens for project scalability and adaptability.

My roles

Alongside setting up the design system, my team wrote documentation and established processes for regular updates and new asset requests.

Designer

Developed protocol for auditing assets in both text and visual format; set up the Figma design library; tested assets for accessibility and usability; added assets to library following Google's Material Design; applied design tokens to foundational properties, added dark mode, and set up styles and 'Variants' within Figma

Content Writer

Wrote instructional documentation for design system asset and component usage both within Figma and in Confluence; provided recommendations for improved accessibility and usability

Tools

On this project I worked primarily in Figma, FigJam, Sketch, InVision (RIP), and Confluence.
