CONTEXT

KPI Sight was in the process of a total revamp with an interface made by a talented previous designer. While the designs looked sharp and polished, they lacked a formalized design system. Components and variables were not used, styles were manually recreated across screens, and some frames did not leverage auto-layout.

The project was initiated by the CTO, who was copy-pasting raw values from Figma. The objective was to design a uniform system that would accelerate all future product work.

COLOURS & APPROACH

The CTO wanted to preserve the existing design, but the colour palette relied heavily on transparency. The use of transparency caused unintended results when elements were layered, creating subtle shifts in hue and contrast. I translated recurring UI patterns into components, introduced primarily solid colours, and created variables for spacing, radius, typography, and colour.

TABLES

Data tables were the most complex component to build. The table architecture was built using nested components: table, column, header, and cell. Designers and engineers could easily modify row counts, column configurations, and content.

OUTCOME

KPI Sight retained its polished aesthetic while gaining the structural integrity required for long-term growth. Design iteration became faster and developer handoff became clearer, meeting the CTO’s objectives. Below is a dashboard template demonstrating how the design system supports layout consistency, visual hierarchy, and component reuse.
