The Challenge
UNDRR needed to modernize their digital operations with a new design system and content authoring tools. Their existing systems were outdated, making content management inefficient and inconsistent across their global platform. They required a solution that would streamline their operations, maintain brand consistency, and improve the overall user experience for their global audience.
Our Solution
Think
As the lead frontend engineer, I conducted a comprehensive analysis of their existing systems, identifying pain points and inefficiencies. Working closely with their team, we mapped out a strategic plan for a unified design system that would maintain consistency while accommodating the diverse content needs of a global organization.
Create
I developed a robust design system with reusable components and implemented modern content authoring tools that simplified the content creation process. The solution incorporated responsive design principles, accessibility standards, and performance optimization techniques to ensure a seamless experience across all devices and regions.
Grow
The implementation was accompanied by thorough documentation and training sessions for the UNDRR team. We established a governance framework for the design system to ensure its continued evolution and consistency as their digital needs expand.
Results
Reduced content publishing time by approximately 40%
Improved design consistency across all digital platforms
Enhanced accessibility compliance to WCAG 2.1 AA standards
