Scroll ↓
At a Glance
As a UX Design Manager at Mersive, I spearheaded the creation of a comprehensive design system for the new Mersive Collaboration Suite. This project showcases my ability to drive user-centered design solutions that enhance product consistency and user experience across multiple platforms.
Challenge
With Mersive's existing Solstice product suite nearing a decade in the market, we faced the task of modernizing our design language while maintaining brand continuity. The absence of a cohesive design system had led to inconsistent user experiences across products. Our goal was to create a bridge between the existing brand and future design directions, anticipating an upcoming rebranding effort.
Approach
Leveraging design thinking methodologies, I orchestrated a comprehensive design overhaul:
User Research: Conducted in-depth analysis of modern design trends, adhering strictly to accessibility standards.
Stakeholder Engagement: Gathered insights from key stakeholders and existing customers to understand perceptions of the current product suite.
Iterative Design: Created and tested multiple design iterations, using surveys to gauge user preferences on fonts and colors.
Accessibility Focus: Prioritized WCAG compliance throughout the design process, ensuring inclusivity for all users.
Key Innovations
Unified Typography: Implemented Google's "Poppins" font with a refined size hierarchy, enhancing readability across all applications.
Accessible Color Palette: Developed a WCAG-compliant color scheme that maintains brand identity while improving user experience.
Scalable Component Library: Created over 500 individual components, ensuring consistency across mobile, desktop, and Smart TV displays.
Flexible Design System: Designed for easy updates, anticipating future branding changes.
Results
The new Mersive Design System yielded impressive outcomes:
Enhanced user experience through consistent design language across all products
Improved accessibility, meeting WCAG requirements
Streamlined development process with a comprehensive component library
Positioned the brand for future growth and rebranding efforts
This case study demonstrates my expertise in creating scalable, user-centric design systems that drive product cohesion and user satisfaction. By combining empathy-driven design with data-informed decision-making, I consistently deliver solutions that resonate with users and stakeholders alike.
