Challenge
Hack The Box has grown rapidly, expanding their product portfolio to meet diverse customer needs. However, this growth has resulted in a fragmented user experience across our products, as each was developed independently without a unified design approach. This inconsistency hinders our ability to provide a seamless and cohesive brand experience, leading to potential customer confusion and decreased user engagement.
Goal
The primary goal was to develop a comprehensive design system that integrates our existing products under a single, cohesive visual and functional framework. This system should enhance user experience, improve brand consistency, and streamline product development processes. By achieving this goal, we aim to increase customer satisfaction, enhance our brand identity, and improve operational efficiency.
My Role
As a Lead Product Designer, my role involves leading the development and implementation of a comprehensive design system to unify our existing products alongside a team of four other designers.
I create components in Figma, document them in Confluence and collaborate with developers to see its fruition in Storybook, ensuring the system is scalable and adaptable across various platforms. I collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate the design system into existing products, working closely with product managers and engineers for effective implementation.
Team

Results
Delivered over 100 components in the span of 2 years and developed a three-phase, year long strategy for the system
