The big thing on my mind right now is our new design system that we’re just starting to build. For one, it’s giving me a chance to practice design skills in a very practical way and I still can’t believe I’m leading such a fun project! The design system is key to getting our tools right, and making them beautiful as well as functional. Now that we’re getting bigger and bolder and trying to tackle more philosophical questions about digital + government, it’s essential for us to have a solid guide for designing new products and features. If we don’t have to constantly ask questions about how our products look or how our code should be structured, then we have more time to think about why we’re creating the products in the first place.
