Franchise Framework
At Scorpion, I led the creation of a comprehensive design system that aligned design and code teams, enabling faster website production while maintaining the flexibility required by franchise clients. I built all core components, most section layouts, and extensive documentation. Additionally, I developed and taught a cross-functional training course for designers, developers, and project managers. This system increased page output, reduced design time by 40%, cut development timelines by 30%, and contributed to a 98% client satisfaction rate. Through close collaboration with design, project management, and technology leadership, I ensured a seamless and responsive solution.

Creating a Scalable, Flexible Design Framework
The primary goal of the design system was to unify the efforts of design and development teams while maintaining the flexibility franchise clients required. I built a comprehensive library of reusable, responsive components and section layouts. These modular assets empowered teams to produce pages quickly while allowing customization to meet diverse client needs. This system became the foundation for scalable, client-tailored website creation.
Driving Efficiency and Quality Across Teams
Beyond building components, I authored detailed documentation and developed a hands-on training program for designers, developers, and project managers. This initiative accelerated adoption and ensured consistent implementation. As a result, design time was reduced by 40%, development timelines by 30%, and combined with process improvements, client satisfaction rose to 98%. The system not only improved internal efficiency but also elevated the quality and speed of client deliverables.
Cross-Functional Collaboration and Iteration
I worked closely with the Director of Project Management and Director of Tech to align design outputs with development processes. The design team I led provided input during the planning phase and conducted QA to ensure precision. This collaborative approach ensured the system was both technically sound and user-friendly, resulting in a seamless workflow that empowered multiple teams to deliver consistent, high-quality websites.
