Tapestry Design System

Company: Avant
Timeframe: Spring 2022 – Present
Role: Head of Product Design

When I joined Avant in February 2022 the company had just underwent a rebrand on the Marketing side. Because the digital product experience had not been improved in years, the time was right to create a new design system that aligned with the new brand and would define reusable user-interface patterns to guide the new team as we redesign our web and mobile experiences.

This project is ongoing. The images below represent in-flight component work and applications of the new design system, Tapestry. The team’s current work involves frontend engineering leads interfacing with my direct reports to implement resuable components and design tokens for sub-atomic UI attributes (color, spacing, typography, and more).

I spoke about my experience and philosophy of building design systems at the DesignOps 2022 Conference in Denver, CO. The text from my presentation is here on my blog.
