Component Library & UI Kit - Marcia Gaudencio

Throughout my professional career, I have consistently developed and managed custom Design Systems for a wide range of projects in paralel with the project itself. Design Systems include essential elements such as UI kits, Component Libraries, Styleguides and Pattern libraries. These systems are crutial for scaling a product and provide comprehensive documentation.

Deliverables

Project

This is a Component Library UI Case study showcasing how I build modular and atomically. This is a Slider Component created as part of the Turner & Townsend's project aiming to refracture all child components into a Master Component to be used globally across multiple dashboards.

My contribution

Build UI and component structure to increase scalability, use atomic design principles to cascade and apply changes at the design layer feeding seamlessly with development and QA.

Neatly organised

Each symbol, piece or component is neatly structured and organized.

Nested Symbols and Overrides

Nested Symbols
and Overrides

Override system based on nested symbols, following atomic design principles

Dynamic resizing

Each component is elastic, automatically fitting any breakpoint

Component Anatomy

Having sections with nested symbols creates many combinations, resulting in consistency, flexibility and scalability at an early stage

Sections

Here is a Body Section, it can be a chart or a table. We simply select the Section Symbol and override it with other symbols in the library

Component Combinations

Having Sections with Nested Symbols creates many combinations, resulting in consistency, flexibility and scalability for any project at an early stage

Source of all truth

A Master Component serves as a source of truth to Developers and Designers. A developer codes components based on signed-off master components. Since all live components are replicas of that, poor pixel perfection is no issue.

UI KIT

Atomic Symbols

A master symbol contains nested. symbols. Instances of the master can be created and changes can be applied across all files with a click.

Example of an instance: Elevation: 04/00, Shape: 4px corners, Color: Cyan, Tint: 0%, Shade: 0%, State: Disabled

Every cell is a symbol, characters cells align to the left, values to the right each can have 1 or 2 lines. Every cell has nested symbols, backgrounds, dividers and icons to create cell states.

Forms & Tables

Table system

Every cell is a symbol, characters cells align to the left, values to the right each can have 1 or 2 lines. Every cell has nested symbols, backgrounds, dividers and icons to create cell states.

Tables can be dense to pack lots of data or standard, they have a defined structure: Header, content and footer cells.

This App assists Cost and Risk Managers track the cost evolution of a project, such as the construction of The Shard.
The goal is to assure the project is accurately managed.
