The Design Interface Guidelines (DIG) was PGi’s first design system, created to establish visual and functional consistency across their entire suite of apps. By standardizing UI components, DIG helped unify the GlobalMeet, iMeet Chat, Agenday, and other PGi products under a cohesive design language.

After successfully modernizing GlobalMeet, I was tasked with developing a scalable design system that would:
• Codify best practices for design and development across web and desktop apps.
• Accelerate development by providing reusable UI components.
• Ensure consistency in PGi’s evolving product ecosystem.

• Researched emerging design system methodologies, attending Atlanta and NYC meetups to learn from industry leaders.
• Partnered with developers to establish Angular as the component library foundation for the web platform.
• Referenced established systems like Material, Polaris, and Lightning to inform DIG’s structure.
• Worked with design leads across PGi to identify needs, establish governance, and ensure system adoption.
