Design System and Component Library

The Design System consists of three main components. A library of UX guidelines and standards, that are created by the UX Design team, researched, validated and user tested before being finalized. An internal website that shared throughout all product teams, which contains code examples and implementation instructions for developers. Also a component library of design elements constructed in Figma, to be used by designers when prototyping to ensure consistency.
