Design System for Enterprise Commerce

Challenge

Multiple enterprise commerce projects were building UIs from scratch with inconsistent patterns, duplicated effort, and varying accessibility standards. Teams lacked shared components, design tokens, and documentation.

Solution

Led the creation of a comprehensive design system with an Angular component library, design tokens (colors, typography, spacing), accessibility-first components, and living documentation. The system served as the single source of truth for all commerce frontends in the organization.

Architecture

• Angular standalone component library with tree-shakeable exports
• Design tokens as CSS custom properties for theme-ability
• ITCSS + BEM architecture for scalable, maintainable styles
• Storybook for living documentation and visual regression testing
• Automated a11y checks integrated into CI pipeline

Impact

• Reduced UI development time by 60% across projects
• Achieved WCAG 2.1 AA compliance across all components
• Eliminated visual inconsistencies between independently developed features
• Enabled white-label theming for 3 client brands from a single codebase
