The T-Mobile Design System

The T-Mobile design system, which was set up in Sketch and Abstract, was reaching its limits. A complete overhaul regarding the component setup was required as existing components were far too limiting to support the needs of marketing and the content creation teams.

The time had also come to migrate our design system to Figma.

Areas of focus

Together with the frontend development team, we looked closely at each component to see if a component still met our requirements and that of the content teams. Then each component was designed in Figma, making sure that every component was setup in the most logical way, on order to create a robust and easy to use component library.

Documentation

For each component I created a documentation sheet, containing important aspects of a component, such as: the anatomy of a component, options and states, spacing, sizing, padding and composition.

This documentation sheet would serve as a guideline for developers and user experience designers on how to use a component.
