ERI Design System
I led the effort to create a unified design system across seven different products, each with its own visual language and patterns. The goal was to create a shared design DNA that could scale across ERI’s product ecosystem and give teams a common foundation for designing and building new experiences.
I helped modernize ERI’s platforms from what felt like a legacy, DVD-era interface into a more intuitive financial technology dashboard experience. The design system brought consistency to navigation, components, layouts, and interaction patterns while giving designers and developers a reusable framework to work from. It also created stronger alignment between product, design, engineering, and business teams around how ERI’s products should evolve.
The impact went beyond the UI. The system cut average development time for new features from six weeks to three, increasing development velocity by roughly 50% and saving an estimated 1,000 hours of engineering time annually. It reached 95% design consistency across ERI’s platforms and achieved 100% adoption among business owners, executives, and developers. As UX became more central to the organization, the growing demand for design work ultimately led to the addition of two junior UX designers to support the team.
