A set of patterns and guides to re-use across different products.
Tesco Enterprise team needed a consistent way of shaping their internal apps, so that they scale easily and design patterns are transferrable (resulting in greater re-use and streamlined processes).

Andres Arigon - Product Designer, Tesco UI team
I was responsible for tackling mainly three areas: Responsive scaling behaviour, Side panel component behaviour, and General UI behaviours across components.
I was brought in to look at the best ways of understanding user needs and behaviours within different app teams and ultimately helping design the system in a way that works for the context and the users.
Through a combination of qual interviews and analytics I’ve found out what screen sizes users favour.
I then facilitated a brainstorming session with Tesco designers to detect common patterns across the different applications of the enterprise suite.
I then experimented with translating components across different screen sizes, de-bunking the assumption that the design is mostly needed for big screen.
Following that, I’ve created various documentation and soft guidelines to follow.
Design system (Daisy) increased in maturity and gained focus on real user needs. Reduction of pattern waste meant dractic reduction of time and resource needed to design applications.
The intricate art of team alignment when in different timezones and working cultures.
