Role

Lead Product Designer — UX Auditing, Systems Thinking, Pattern Extraction

​

Challenge
Legacy modules had grown organically for years, resulting in inconsistent layouts, spacing, behavior, and messaging. Without a formal design system, new features risked feeling bolted-on, confusing, or misaligned with user expectations.

​

My Contribution

• Conducted deep UI audits across modules to uncover hidden rules

• Created annotated reference files documenting spacing, hierarchy, interactions

• Identified inconsistencies and restructured reusable UI patterns

• Partnered with engineering and PMs to align constraints and ensure accurate implementation

Impact

• Delivered new features that felt native within legacy modules

• Reduced redesign churn by defining implicit UI rules and patterns

• Enabled engineering to ship new functionality faster with fewer inconsistencies

• Laid foundation for a future formal design system

​

Outcome

A set of extracted UI patterns, rules, and interaction behaviors that allowed new features to integrate seamlessly and scale across the product.
