Learn how I drove initiatives to ensure the maturity and scalability of the Trellis Design System and how this work supported Lacework feature teams in a shared mission to improve the user experience.

Outcomes:

  • Partnered with engineering to introduce keyboard accessibility to Lacework UI, achieving approximately 70% coverage across all pages and 89% level AA WCAG compliance across the product.

  • Led the migration to a new component library, achieving 94% compliance, and defined the product vision for the Trellis Design System, aligning with the Senior Design Manager on feature team prioritization.

  • Implemented a component contribution process, reducing design debt by 62%, ensuring consistent use of design system office hours, and achieving a 4.5/5 rating for component ease of use and a 5/5 rating for documentation helpfulness.

  • Developed success metrics, goals, and initiatives aligned with company OKRs, capturing them on the roadmap and driving results.

  • Defined visual design language during product redesign, managed transitions between libraries, and secured stakeholder buy-in through collaboration with cross-functional teams on pattern implementation and planning.
