Role Senior Product Designer
Duration May 2025 - Aug 2025
Team Lead UX Designer, UX/UI Designer
Design Systems Accessibility UX/UI

At Zyter, our UX team undertook the creation of a scalable and accessible design system to unify product experiences across the platform. The initiative aimed to provide a consistent UI language, support for accessibility (WCAG 2.1 AA compliance), and visual flexibility through Light, Dark, and High Contrast modes. The system would serve multiple healthcare applications used by diverse audiences, including individuals with visual impairments.

Zyter’s products relied on inconsistent UI components and patterns, making it difficult to scale or maintain a cohesive user experience. Existing interfaces did not meet WCAG 2.1 AA standards, creating barriers for users with visual, motor, or cognitive impairments. The platform lacked Light, Dark, and High Contrast modes, limiting usability across diverse environments and accessibility needs, while designers and developers struggled with misaligned components, unclear documentation, and inconsistent implementation practices.
