Working in a small team consisting of a product owner, designer, engineer and myself as the UX lead, over the nine-month duration, we created a system to unify the Guardian's digital hierarchy and increase accessibility. We weren't starting from scratch by any means. The solid foundations created in The Guardian's 2018 redesign were a beautiful jumping-off point. We applied extensive reasoning and rationale to produce a design system for The Guardian product teams to use daily.

The objective was to create a constantly evolving system of elements that have since become an integral part of the existing product teams' toolkit so that the same problems aren't being solved over and over but instead leaving space for new user challenges to be solved.
