Staples

Role: Team Lead • Designer • Workshop Facilitator

Figma • ZeroHeight • Fig Jam

Goal:

To modernize Staples Canada’s digital presence, we transformed fragmented legacy assets into a unified, scalable design system. Our goal was to create a single source of truth for all web properties.

.

Strategy:

In lockstep with the Design System Product Owner, I facilitated cross-functional workshops with product design and engineering to establish a robust governance model and a long-term roadmap. We prioritized architecture first—defining a scalable library structure and selecting a tech stack (Figma, FigJam, and ZeroHeight) that bridged the gap between design and code.

Execution:

We systematically overhauled the foundational UI—from tokens to complex components. Every element was rebuilt for accessibility and scale, paired with comprehensive usage guidelines and technical specs documented in ZeroHeight to ensure seamless handoffs.
