Working closely with design, engineering, and product teams, I led initiatives to improve usability and interface consistency across our ecosystem. This included running design audits, monitoring adoption through internal analytics, and identifying gaps between intended design patterns and actual implementation—helping the system become a more reliable source of truth for teams across the company.

To ensure design and code stayed in sync, I collaborated with engineers to build and maintain component libraries that mirrored design specifications with precision. This hands-on collaboration not only improved implementation fidelity but also fostered stronger relationships between design and development, reinforcing the role of the design system as a shared product in its own right.

My focus was on building scalable, flexible component libraries that could serve a broad range of product needs while maintaining visual and functional consistency.

I established organization-wide documentation, standards, and best practices for design operations—laying the groundwork for a more systematic and collaborative approach to product design. This included leading large-scale initiatives like WCAG accessibility, responsive behavior, and right-to-left (RTL) language support, integrating them directly into the design system as core capabilities rather than afterthoughts.

To support education and adoption across the organization, I ran workshops, onboarding sessions, and internal talks focused on system operations, Figma workflows, and component creation. These sessions helped teams across disciplines engage more confidently with the system and contributed to a culture of shared ownership and continuous improvement.

In parallel, I helped establish design system guidelines for BMW and MINI, contributing to a scalable, shared visual language that included standards for components, imagery, motion, and animation. These guidelines were adopted by the global design team and served as a foundation for cohesive product experiences across platforms.

As a production designer, I maintained and evolved UI library components distributed globally, ensuring quality and consistency across markets. I also contributed to accessibility evaluations within mobile applications, advocating for inclusive design practices as part of the system’s foundation.
