Arthur Design System
How might we scale design in the unique clinical trial problem space so that designers can focus on creating innovative solutions?
Problem
We needed a design system adaptable to our product's growing number of complex user needs. Equipping designers with a flexible yet structured design language was an essential balance to push towards as they move through these unexplored problem spaces.
Solution
A coded and well-documented, Design System used by designers and developers
Responsibilites
→ Maintain an interconnected Figma library for designers and developers

→ Advocate for design systems team-wide and use it as a way to create stronger relationships across different roles
→ Create usage guidelines for styles, components, and accessibility
→ Manage two direct reports to maintain Arthur's backlog
