Timeline 5 months
Components 60+ components

Overview

Novu hired me to unify their fragmented UI — four different button styles across three products. I built a token-based design system from scratch that now powers their entire product suite.

Problem

Rapid growth meant three separate teams building UI independently. Inconsistency was eroding user trust and slowing down development velocity.

What I Built

- 60+ React components with Storybook documentation

- Design tokens for color, spacing, typography

- Figma component library synced to code

- Contribution guidelines and review process

- New features shipped 2x faster after adoption

- Zero UI inconsistency issues in post-launch QA
