The PGi iOS Design System was created to establish a consistent, scalable, and efficient design framework across PGi’s suite of iOS applications. Building upon the success of PGi’s web and desktop design system, this initiative ensured that best practices, brand identity, and usability standards were unified across PGi’s mobile products.
objective
With PGi’s web and desktop design system fully implemented, the next step was to develop a comprehensive iOS design system. The goal was to create a framework that:
• Maintained iOS’s native design patterns while incorporating PGi’s brand identity where appropriate.
• Streamlined component updates to align with Apple’s evolving design language, minimizing manual effort during iOS refresh cycles.
• Enabled faster product development by providing a governance system to ensure consistency across teams.

• Developed a component governance system to ensure design consistency and adaptability across product teams.
• Integrated Apple’s Human Interface Guidelines (HIG), ensuring the native look and feel remained intact while embedding PGi’s branding where appropriate.
• Designed the system with scalability in mind, allowing it to automatically absorb future iOS component updateswithout requiring extensive manual redesigns.
