HTML Enterprise Design System and Component Library Development
HTML Component Architecture
From design chaos to systematic clarity
A rapidly expanding educational institution faced a familiar challenge: multiple teams developing digital platforms independently, each with its own look and feel. The result was inconsistent user experiences, duplicated components, and growing design debt that hindered progress. They needed a unified design system to bring consistency, efficiency, and collaboration across every team.

The Problem
Multiple digital teams creating similar interfaces with inconsistent design and functionality
No shared design library-each department maintaining its own fragmented Figma files
Onboarding new developers and designers slowed by unclear standards and missing documentation
Accessibility compliance issues due to inconsistent markup and navigation behaviour
Design and content updates requiring manual effort across numerous platforms with no unified system
The Solution
Conducted comprehensive component audit across all products to identify patterns and consolidate duplicates
Built atomic design system with base tokens, primitive components, and composed patterns
Integrated Storybook with interactive documentation, usage guidelines, and accessibility testing
Implemented design token architecture synced from Figma to code, enabling single-source updates
Created migration toolkit with codemods and component mapping guide for gradual adoption
The Outcome
A production-ready design system that became the foundation for all new product development.
Other highlights
- Development teams building new features 60% faster using documented, tested components
- Design-to-development handoff time reduced from 2 weeks to 3 days with shared token system
- Accessibility compliance improved to 100% WCAG AA/A across all products using system components
- 35+ production-ready components adopted across product teams
- Zero reported visual regressions after implementing automated Chromatic testing pipeline
