App Design
& Guidelines
A unified app design guideline for all.
01 / THE FOUNDATION
Designing consistency into every interaction.
Having an app design system helped the company and external developers maintain a more consistent and user-friendly experience across applications. It streamlined collaboration between teams, reduced design inefficiencies, and made development more efficient.
Collaboration between designers and developers became smoother, reducing unnecessary back-and-forth and speeding up development by 30%. External developers onboarded 50% faster.
02 / THE GUIDELINES
Principles, categories, and a foundation UI kit.
- Develop product design principles and guidelines
- Define app categorization based on functionality
- Build a foundation UI kit
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams
- Communicate design solutions effectively
03 / THE METHOD
Making complex systems feel approachable.
Design thinking workshops, heuristic evaluation, expert reviews, prototype testing sessions, contextual inquiry, and accessibility evaluation shaped the system.
Each movement or action required a dedicated app. I organized the apps into categories based on their attributes and functions, then simplified the interface for novice, intermediate, and expert users.
04 / THE IMPACT
Modular building blocks for better workflows.
The resulting guidelines gave teams a shared language for designing, building, and testing robotic applications—improving quality while making the platform more scalable.
In collaboration with Carlo Bagnato and Maria Ciccarelli.
