BUSINESS GOAL

etabytes is a web design agency in Cologne that designs and implement webpages. Working with an unorganized design files and a messy library was leading to an inconsistent use of components, doubling efforts and slowing the efficiency of the team. Working async turned into conflict between designers and developers, which was reflecting on the websites. etabytes is a web design agency in Cologne that designs and implement webpages.

APPROACH

I identified the need for a well-structured design system and took the initiative to organize the components and libraries in Figma. To ensure long-term usability and scalability, I:


  • Collaborated with the lead designer to understand the project's core design principles

  • Created a unified page in Figma to document design fundamentals like typography, color palettes, and icons

  • Defined local variables and styles for consistent application across all pages

  • Segmented components into a dedicated library file for better management and reusability

This method allowed me to standardize processes, ensuring that all projects followed clear guidelines and maintained design integrity.

RESULTS

This project not only improved internal processes at Etabytes but also demonstrated my ability to identify inefficiencies, implement scalable solutions, and drive impactful results in a collaborative design environment.

One of the aspects I enjoyed most about this project was the opportunity to collaborate with everyone involved in working with Figma. I learned a lot and gained new insights into how others approach their tasks and how we can collectively contribute to the efficiency of client projects.
