Goal

Following a shift in the company’s business strategy, the goal was to create a scalable suite of market research products that could be customized to each client’s brand, content, and data needs while remaining efficient to build and maintain.

Approach

Product Architecture + Module Design

Designed a modular product architecture that enabled reusable market research experiences across diverse datasets and client requirements.

Design System + Engineering Collaboration

Built a robust financial design component library tightly aligned with the codebase, enabling fast, scalable customization and efficient collaboration with engineering.

Challenges

Every challenge was an opportunity to scale — here's how I approached it.

Scaling for Multiple Projects

Needed to build a unified design system that could support multiple concurrent projects — each with different scopes, requirements, and legacy constraints.

Fast Timelines, High Customization Overhead

Tight deadlines and custom client needs were leading to heavy design and development rework across projects.

From Custom Projects to Products

As the company shifted toward product-based delivery, the existing ad-hoc design process no longer fit the new workflow and scaling model.

Solved via

Flexible, Reusable Component Library

Audited all design use cases across projects and built a scalable component system that supports variation and modular presentation — enabling consistent design at scale.

Variable-Driven Customization Framework

Introduced a variables-based theming structure. Components stayed centrally managed, while client-specific styling was handled through custom variable overrides — significantly reducing delivery time.

New Product Design Workflow

Established a standardized product design process. Created onboarding materials, held regular office hours, and managed a Q&A channel to drive adoption across design and engineering teams.

Design Process

From insight to execution, a scalable design process that transforms business goals and data into flexible, client-ready product experiences.

Define Requirements & Feature Scope

Define a clear and focused set of features aligned with the product vision, based on the business plan, client and user needs, and research insights.

Data Research & Expert Collaboration

Collaborate with financial experts and data teams to identify what matters to users, and determine how to visualize that data with clarity and value.

Design Exploration & Full-scale Iteration

Explore the full version of the product with all intended features, using scalable components from the design system to build at maximum complexity.

System Updates: Components & Variables

Add or refine components and variables in the design library to support scalability across modules, markets, regions, and data providers.

Final Design for Release

Distill the design into a focused MVP or release version, with variations tailored to platform constraints or business priorities.

Client-Specific Customization

Select relevant modules based on each client’s data entitlements, then tailor them using custom variable libraries, enabling efficient front-end implementation in sync with engineering.
