Design System at Scale
001
Overview
At UBS, I contributed to the evolution of the unified Design System used across E-Banking, Mobile Banking, and Investment Banking. My work strengthened cross-team alignment, improved system scalability, and introduced AI-assisted workflows to streamline documentation and quality assurance. The result was a more consistent, efficient, and future-ready design ecosystem for thousands of internal users.

- Unified three major digital channels, enabling cross-divisional teams to design with greater confidence and consistency.
- Automated documentation and quality assurance through AI-assisted workflows, increasing accuracy and cutting manual effort by 40%+.
- Facilitated 40+ Design System sessions and mentored 3 interns, accelerating adoption and strengthening system literacy across teams.
