DESIGN, ART DIRECTION

In-house: W.W. Grainger

Contributing to the overall design system at Grainger is no small feat. Having a shared design language empowers teams to collaborate more effectively. Since marketing was not involved in creating a design system we’ve adopted into a preexisting system as well as creating space for our marketing initiatives. This led to a closer partnership between UX and our team to create a set of standards for design and code along with components. The level of involvement from our company’s range of disciplines and experience levels all serve the system, but it takes a close partnership to successfully create a seamless experience for our customers.

  • Efficiency and Consistency: Established a design system that saves time and money by streamlining the design and development process, ensuring consistency across all site elements.

  • Usability and Accessibility: Focused on creating components that enhance usability and accessibility, ensuring a high standard of user interaction.

  • Streamlined Processes: Created efficient workflows for design and implementation, facilitating smooth collaboration between design and development teams.

  • Data-Driven Refinement: Used user feedback and analytics to continuously improve UI components, meeting user needs and preferences.

Through strategic collaboration, innovative design, and a commitment to usability and accessibility, I have contributed to a comprehensive design system for Grainger.com, enhancing the user experience and supporting business objectives.
