My Role and Approach

As the lead designer, I analyzed existing UI patterns, collaborated closely with Customer Success and engineering teams, and applied atomic design principles to define a structured system of tokens, components, and styles. I optimized color systems for light/dark themes and reduced typography styles to enhance coherence and usability.
