Varsity Tutors design system
One design system across three products
Leadership wanted a new look, starting with students and moving to tutors later. Two things made it hard: students, tutors and internal software shared one set of components, and design's Figma file didn't match the code, so changes caused issues and rounds of revisions. We shipped minimal changes first, and I led a rebuild of the system on themes. Design-related tickets raised after UAT dropped by about 80%.
