In my role at Coles Group, I spearheaded the development of a native design system for a mobile app that catered to both iOS and Android platforms. This project aimed to streamline the user experience, improve consistency, and enhance the overall visual and functional aspects of the app.
Key Achievements and Contributions:
Research and Analysis: The project began with extensive research into best practices for both iOS and Android app design. I conducted a thorough analysis of design guidelines and user preferences for each platform, ensuring that our design system would align with user expectations.
Design Language Development: I collaborated closely with the design and development teams to create a unified design language that encompassed typography, color schemes, iconography, and user interface components. This design language was carefully crafted to maintain a balance between the distinct visual characteristics of iOS and Android while ensuring a cohesive and harmonious user experience.
Component Library: A significant part of the project involved creating a comprehensive component library that included UI elements such as buttons, navigation bars, forms, and more. These components were designed to be platform-agnostic, making it easier for developers to implement them consistently across both iOS and Android.
Accessibility and Usability: Accessibility was a priority throughout the project. I ensured that the design system adhered to accessibility guidelines, making the app inclusive and user-friendly for individuals with disabilities. This involved the selection of accessible colors, text sizes, and navigation patterns.
Challenges: Creating a and combining both iOS and Android designs systems towards a unified system.
