Design System

Created a preliminary design system to support early-stage prototyping, ensuring consistency across components while allowing for rapid iteration. This system established foundational styles, reusable elements, and scalable patterns to streamline design decisions and accelerate product development.

Flow Mapping

Though many user flows, interaction approaches, and overall layouts were explored, these wires represent the direction final designs ultimately followed.
