Outcome
The design system improved efficiency, reducing turnaround time for related design tasks by an average of 19%. For more complex updates, such as building intricate flows or addressing edge cases, the improvement was more pronounced, with tasks completed up to 30% faster as a team. Additionally, the standardised components and clear documentation minimised back-and-forth between design and development, cutting handoff time by 20%. This enabled the team to handle 25% more design iterations within the same timeframe, improving overall productivity while maintaining high quality - evidenced by the 28% fewer bugs reported in QA.

Execution
Built from the ground up, leveraging variables, styles, and atomic design principles to create a cohesive and highly customisable framework. The system was designed to simplify workflows, providing a clear and consistent foundation for designers and developers alike. Each component included multiple states, ensuring seamless flow creation and comprehensive coverage of all use cases. This approach reduced ambiguity for developers and minimised the time required for designers to build end-to-end user journeys.

The variable structures (above) for colour and typography tokens.
To align the design system closely with the development process, I conducted interviews with developers to understand the structure of their variable and component libraries. This collaboration ensured the design and development libraries shared a unified foundation, eliminating miscommunication with a more streamlined handoff process. The result was a robust and flexible design system that not only enhanced efficiency, but also bridged the gap between design and development. This initiative reduced turnaround times for design improvements, simplified onboarding for new team members, and ensured the app delivered a polished experience for users.

Parth's commitment to delivering good UX is note-worthy. I rarely see anyone dive as deep into consumer thought processes as he does.
Anthony Damien
Director, Solverminds Solutions
An employee I don't have to micromanage. Parth's leadership in creating our design system ensured the process was smooth and efficient. His experience and attention to detail always exceeds expectations.
Medha Kadian
Lead Designer, Enphase Energy
Parth created extremely well-thought user journeys for the interface of an additive manufacturing project here at Oracle. Would work with him again, anytime.
Navneet Kapur
Director, Oracle
I was genuinely surprised Parth has no formal background in product management and growth. His intuition has been proved right time and again, backed by hard data.
