The primary challenge was to develop a robust design system without a formal Business Requirements Document (BRD) and within a tight timeframe. This required rapid decision-making and a holistic approach to design. I had to balance creating a cohesive visual language with the need for flexibility in a fast-paced banking environment. Additionally, I was tasked with designing the product's logo, adding another layer of complexity to the project.

The Service Central Design System project demonstrated the value of a unified design language in a fast-paced banking environment. By addressing challenges head-on and focusing on scalability, we created a tool that not only improved our current workflow but also set the stage for future innovation and growth. Despite the initial challenges, the project fostered better collaboration between design and development teams, setting a new standard for future product development at Access Bank Plc.
