/My Role/
/At the Beginning of the Journey/
Migrated designs from Adobe XD to Figma to enable faster collaboration and scalable workflows.
When I first joined the team, all the product designs lived in Adobe XD, but collaboration was slowing us down. I took the initiative to migrate the entire design system and product flows to Figma. This shift didn’t just modernize our workflow; it unlocked real-time collaboration, faster feedback loops, and smoother handoffs between design and engineering. It was the first step toward scaling our product efficiently.
/Next, I redesigned the Layouts/
Redesigned old designs using Tailwind CSS styles
I reviewed the previous designs to understand their structure and style. Then, I updated them to be fully Tailwind CSS compliant, ensuring consistency and easier implementation.
/Moving on to Designing LLM 2.0/
LLM 2.0 was a new product initiative that we began developing from the ground up.
The project involved defining a feature list and designing each feature to be both technically feasible and revenue-generating. I collaborated closely with the CEO and CTO to brainstorm product ideas, discussing which features would have the most impact. Once the strategy was set, I moved into translating these ideas into detailed, user-focused designs.
/Diving into the Designs/
Selecting a Design System or UI Kit
We evaluated whether to use a UI kit or build a design system from scratch, reviewing options like Untitled UI and Shadcn. Initially, we adopted Untitled UI, but after three months, we pivoted to Shadcn to improve engineering efficiency.
/Building the LLM 2.0/
Designed LLM 2.0 based on requirements and handed off finalized designs to engineering.
After a month of designing and iterating, I handed the designs to the engineering team. I then worked closely with front-end developers to ensure the implementation matched the Figma designs accurately.
