The Challenge
The Challenge
The Lamatic product team needed to speed up development without losing consistency in design and functionality.
With frequent changes in features and branding, it became clear that a single, reusable system was essential for maintaining quality and efficiency.

Scope & Key Considerations
Scope & Key Considerations
Scalability: The system had to be flexible enough to grow as the platform expanded with new features.
Consistency vs. Flexibility: I balanced maintaining uniform design patterns with allowing room for AI-driven, dynamic interactions.

Approach
Approach
To address these challenges and requirements, I adopted the Atomic Design methodology - a structured approach to building design systems using five hierarchical stages: atoms, molecules, organisms, templates, and pages

Structure of tokens
Structure of tokens
Tokens were the foundational elements that informed the entire design system. Tokens ensured that even the smallest changes in the brand’s visual identity could be applied globally without disrupting the system.

Atoms
Atoms
Created the smallest functional UI elements (e.g., buttons, input fields, icons).
Ensured each atom was visually consistent and reusable across contexts.

Ensured each atom was visually consistent and reusable across contexts.
Molecules
Molecules
Combined atoms into simple, functional groups (e.g., labeled input fields, button groups).
Focused on clarity and modularity for these building blocks.

Organisms
Organisms
Built more complex components by assembling molecules and atoms (e.g., navigation bars, section headers).
Designed organisms to be flexible enough for various content and use cases.

Screens
Screens
Established templates that defined the structure of key screens.
Demonstrated how organisms, molecules, and atoms come together to form complete pages, ensuring consistency at every level.
