Empowering
Educators
It was February 2022 when I embarked on a new adventure at Classplus, leaving behind three years at Snapdeal. The transition was like stepping into a parallel universe - the working pattern here was a stark departure from what I had grown accustomed to. Multiple verticals, various platforms - the educational landscape was both exciting and overwhelming.
Chapter 2
The Chaotic Canvas
A sea of design files awaited, each corresponding to a different platform - web, mobile-web, app, guest website - all catering to educators and students. Eight unique designs for one task, each in its own place. Chaos reigned as the lack of organization led to hours of hunting for elusive files. Frustration took root.
Chapter 3
The Organizing Odyssey
In March 2022, my mission began: taming the wild FIGMA repository. With determination and teamwork, files were categorized and structured. But organization was just a piece of the puzzle. The real challenge lay in streamlining design tasks for efficiency.
Chapter 4
A vision takes shape
April 2022 marked a turning point. The concept of a Design System began to germinate in my mind. The scope was immense; collaboration was essential. However, the design team hadn't embraced components or FIGMA Auto Layout. A session on Auto Layout kindled the spark of change.
Chapter 5
The Design System Emerges
Through May, Auto Layout proficiency grew. I pioneered a design language system, demonstrating its power to teammates. Design system components began integrating into workflows, and the team embarked on a journey of systematic design.
Chapter 6
Crafting Tomorrow's Design
June 2022 brought a deeper dive. A session on Design System creation unfolded - styles, components, and future-oriented thinking. The seeds of a comprehensive design language were sown.
Chapter 7
Rise of the Design System
September 2022 dawned with a fully operational design system, boasting 100+ components and 1000+ variants. Files were organized, efficiency was up, and the path was paved for user-focused endeavors.
Chapter 8
A Triumph with the Design System
Post-design system implementation, our mettle was tested with a challenging task: Revamping LIVE CLASSES, against the clock. Thanks to the design system, triumph was ours, as evidenced in the impressive case study.
Chapter 9
Extending Beyond Design
October 2022 arrived, bringing an expanded horizon. The design system journey continued as it flowed into the hands of developers, forging a fast and scalable synergy.
Chapter 10
The System in Action
November 2022 marked a pivotal milestone: the design system was live, breathing life into production. The journey was just beginning
Chapter 11
Orchestrating Migration
December 2022 illuminated the challenge of platform variations. Our education ecosystem needed harmony, and as we migrated platforms, I led the way. Phase 1 of migration was a blazing success, all within a swift four weeks.
Chapter 12
A Seamless Transition
March 2023 saw Phase 2 unfold. Challenges lay ahead, but the solid foundation built in Phase 1 and the design system's extension smoothed the path. Despite being down by two members, our teamwork prevailed.
