Shared Component System

Context

Multiple product modules were built in parallel without shared UI foundations, creating inconsistencies.

Problem

Repeated UI work slowed delivery and made the product feel fragmented.

Goals

• Create reusable UI components for core workflows.
• Improve consistency across modules.
• Reduce development effort and UI rework.

Responsibilities

• Designed reusable component patterns and tokens.
• Implemented a shared SCSS-based UI system.
• Collaborated with designers to standardize patterns.

Constraints

• Legacy screens needed to remain functional.
• Multiple teams with different delivery schedules.
• Limited design resources for large-scale revamps.

Approach

• Prioritized the most reused components first.
• Documented usage and built quick-start templates.
• Incrementally migrated older modules to new patterns.

Solution

• Released 15+ shared components and tokens.
• Adopted the system across 5+ product modules.
• Provided a shared UI kit for faster onboarding.

Results

• Reduced frontend effort by 25% on new screens.
• Improved visual consistency across modules.
• Cut UI rework through standardized patterns.

Learnings

• Adoption improves when the system is easy to start with.
• Documentation is crucial for scale.
• Incremental rollouts reduce resistance.
