Metro Bank Design System

After joining Metro Bank one of the first initiatives I have undertaken has been creating a design system. This project involved creating modular architecture, comprehensive documentation and style guides, facilitating seamless integration and enhanced user experiences through improved aesthetics, accessibility, and usability. I have also placed attention on ways of working with developers to ensure consistency, efficiency, and brand alignment. I have also created a system to document and communicate accessibility requirements, and a set of icons and 3D illustrations.
