Mini Design System
Design System
As part of the hiring process with Banque Misr, I was tasked to create a Mini Design System showcasing my ability to establish visual foundations and organize a consistent UI framework for a digital product. The goal was to demonstrate how a systemized approach can ensure scalability, efficiency, and visual harmony.
Client:
Confidential
Role:
Senior UI Designer
Year:
2023
Challenge
The challenge was to design a compact yet comprehensive Design System within a limited timeframe. It needed to cover the essential fundamentals (Colors, Typography, Icons, Grid), include a starter component library (Cards, Buttons), and key indicators (Tags, Avatar, Progress Bar, Navigation Bar, Header). Additionally, I had to present a mobile screen example to illustrate how the system translates into a real user interface.
Objective
The deliverables included a Mini Design System that covered the essential foundations (colors, typography, icons, grid), a starter component library with buttons and cards, and a set of indicators such as tags, avatars, progress bar, navigation bar, and header. To demonstrate practical application, I also designed a mobile screen showcasing how these elements come together in a consistent and user-friendly interface.
Results
Through this task, I learned how to think more systematically about design, moving beyond individual screens to create a scalable structure that ensures consistency across an entire product. I also sharpened my ability to prioritize what’s essential when building a compact design system under time constraints, while still maintaining visual clarity, usability, and alignment with brand identity.
