Starting Grundfos design system
Create, maintain, and develop Grundfos Design System for digital products across the organization. Grundfos had been struggling with misalignments in the digital products. Therefore they saw the need for building a design system.
In my 2 years at Grundfos, I created the design system from the bottom. I worked on defining how the component libraries should be structured, how the components and patterns should be documented, and how the components could be built in a reusable way. I also focused on how the design system should be used by different departments, how to align and collaborate with branding and marketing, and how to make onboarding processes. Finally, I was responsible for how we could align the design language across 21 different digital products (web, web apps, native apps, desktop apps and embedded displays), and how the design team together could improve and contribute to the design system.’
When I left Grundfos the Design System had 20+ designers and 20+ developers using the design system. The design system was estimated to help save up to 94 % of time on specific tasks.
