During my time there, I helped maintain and evolve a robust design token system supporting multidimensional themes: including dark/light modes and four of Allegro's sub-brands.

I led initiatives aiming to improve usability and adoption of the system. This included running design audits, monitoring adoption through internal analytics, setting up internal stats dashboard and identifying gaps.

To ensure design and code stayed in sync, I collaborated with engineers to rebuild, and maintain component libraries utilizing Figma Connect which mirrored design specifications with precision.

I was the lead, and only designer on the team. We started with migrating old libraries to Figma, utilizing all of its tools such as auto-layouts, and variant properties. We expanded the component set, adding in more advanced structures, as well as started building a comprehensive documentation solution which didn’t exist previously.

We’ve worked hard to make sure that we build a community around the system. Hosting weekly office hours sessions, sending changelog updates, and making sure every support request is answered promptly resulted in a great relationship between our teams.

Another key initiative was kickstarting the work on our design token structure, which was meant to be a precursor before approaching theming. Together with other lead designers, we’ve identified the properties we’d like to address, and later created a working taxonomy.

I’ve supported their Senior designer responsible for the design system powering BMW and MINI mobile experiences. Together we’ve created, and maintained the Sketch libraries, as well as a dedicated custom-built documentation platform.

Outside of the design system responsibilities, I also helped create concepts for the future 2.0 version of the app, detailed animation specifications, and run accessibility audits.
