About Kirstie
I have owned design libraries for business, consumer and for white label products. All of these libraries have been designed and managed by me as well as some additional designers. Each library has needed extensive documentation for web, native or both. I work closely with the development team to oversee the creation of the components and patterns, as well as each development team that would be implementing the library from design flows.
Additionally, no system is complete without having a team of designers to implement it. I work with designers daily to make sure the library is understood across the team through teaching sessions and that the components or patterns are implemented correctly in design standards reviews. The goal is to have a consistent design across the platform. When multiple designers are using a design system, the outcome should look like one person designed the entire platform.

RealPage Inc.
UX Senior Designer
UX Designer
At RealPage, I worked with a team of designers to create two design system libraries for our B2B and B2C products. This required the work of two design systems with two different styles that could be used separately depending on the user. Each library was documented for our developers. A design portal was also created for our designers and developers to reference the do's and don'ts of the system. Additionally, I would use the design system to create user experiences for our business and consumer property management platforms.
