Beyond a Component Library
We strived for Glowstats’s design system to cover how we make design decisions for the future of Glow. We evaluate data quality, look for ways to translate business goals to information architecture. Along with input from designers and other team members, I established shared guidelines and best practices for participating in design reviews, presenting work to stakeholders, and giving valuable empowering feedback.
Managing Density
When an interface calls for a very long list that needs to be quickly scannable, we enable a configuration in our table component to remove some white space and make the table more dense.
Typography that Respects Data
Enigma’s design system uses typographic features like tabular figures in areas where we display data values. We wouldn’t want to miss a decimal.
