My Components

As part of my UX design process, I heavily focused on creating a robust component library to streamline design workflows and ensure consistency across projects.

These components included buttons, forms, cards, navigation bars, and menu items. Using Figma's Components feature, I ensured that these elements were reusable, easy to update, and could be systematically applied throughout the design.

I ensured all components were organized in clear, easy-to-navigate frames, and used Figma's Auto Layout feature to ensure responsiveness and adaptability. By adhering to naming conventions and categorizing components by type (e.g., form elements, buttons, navigation), I helped ensure that team members could easily locate and utilize components when needed.

To enhance scalability and consistency across the library, I utilized Figma’s Variables functionality. By defining global variables for color, typography, spacing, and other UI properties, I was able to create a system that could be easily updated across multiple components and screens. For example, changing the primary brand color in the variable settings instantly updated all components where that color was used.

One challenge I faced was keeping track of the evolving needs of the design system and ensuring all components reflected the latest design standards. To address this, I regularly held design reviews to gather feedback and identify areas for improvement.

Additionally, keeping the component library organized as the number of components grew was another hurdle. I solved this by implementing a versioning system, using branches, for major updates and introducing a process for archiving outdated components, ensuring the library remained lean and efficient.

The creation and maintenance of the component library, coupled with the use of Figma’s variables, resulted in a more efficient and consistent design process. Ultimately, this approach fostered greater collaboration, reduced design debt, and allowed the team to move faster while maintaining high-quality user experiences.
