Reflection
Entering this project, I had a personal goal for myself — keep consistency while elevating the diverse thoughts and opinions around me.
Figuring out how to balance diversity and consistency in one design system is key. As a team, we divided the work and came back together to create one cohesive product.
The volume of items needed made it easier for each team member to work in their own style. But, we welcomed feedback from one another and our stakeholders to confirm our creative direction which assisted in the uniformity. Once we confirmed the content itself, we could move on to the overall look of the presentation.
We ensured that differing opinions were voiced and acknowledged so that the design system truly mirrored our entire team. Now, we have a final product that represents our original goal: a trustworthy and accessible design system, understood by anyone.
