VACU

In 2019, my work with VACU began with small design tasks—creating custom iconography and UI elements as needed. By 2020, our collaboration had deepened, and I took on a larger role, managing and amplifying the brand's digital design system to create a more cohesive and impactful online presence.

The first step in enhancing the user experience was conducting a thorough design audit of the existing design system. I documented various components and styles, offering targeted suggestions for improvement. Using Brad Frost's atomic design methodology, I organized my findings in a way that bridged the gap between development and design. This approach streamlined the process for both teams, enabling us to iterate more efficiently.

Once the audit was complete, I revisited components that could benefit from refinement. Not all revisions were major—many were small adjustments, but each change had a meaningful impact on the user experience. Enhancements included adding texture to the design system, incorporating more iconography, and fine-tuning padding for better balance and scalability.
