Problem

No clear designation for designs

Inconsistencies were widespread across the designs, leading to time wasted in design discussions due to the absence of clear product guidelines. These discrepancies also negatively impacted user experience, causing confusion and hindering system comprehension and learning.

Goal

I used Figma as the main platform to communicates brand values and promote collaboration across internal teams
