  • Spearheaded the project and engaged closely with product managers, UX leads, and developers to accurately capture their specific requirements for analytical dashboard interfaces,

  • Ensured the design patterns delivered were aligned with functional needs, addressed development constraints, consistent and efficient in the design + Dev process.

  • Revised the foundational guidelines for the design pattern documentation, consistently refining these patterns to suit the evolving needs of analytical dashboard development.

  • Presented the progress and intricacies of the design pattern work to the Product managers, UX leads and Developers, demonstrating its relevance and application.

How can the documentation be made accessible?

To enhance the accessibility of design pattern documentation, it should be written in clear, user-friendly language, be digitally accessible, include visual examples for clarity, and have a well-structured layout. Regular updates and a feedback mechanism are also essential for keeping the content relevant and interactive.
