Design systems case study: messaging components [Part 1]

Thank you Femke for this video. I was looking for a real video on the Design system. Not just a tutorial but an actual work process and consideration. I think I have found what I was looking for.🙌🙌🙌🙌

Please keep adding real-life project discussions like you did here! its a great help! thank you so much.

Hi Femke. Nice video covering your the design process. How do you manage an NDA to present your internal design information? I'm updating my portfolio and I don't know how to tackle this. I'm having a bit of a blocker because of that. Thanks for your insights.

This is extremely logical and useful for someone to see who is thinking about becoming a designer. Can this be replicated for a startup or small business?

Very helpful video!

Hey Femke, what is that magic browser that you are using?

how much time did you and your team took to finish this?

Hello Femke! Im curious to what kind of research you did to uncover these painpoints :-)

Hey Femke! I really look up to you and love how you present your work. I've just tackled a "similar-ish" project where I worked on a proposal to create different feedback components because our app relied 90% on alert dialogs when giving feedback to the user. The fact that I see similarities with what you just presented gave me so much confidence :) Sadly, we don't have half of the documentation here but we will get there. I love the "how to meassure success" for the components. Thank you so much for being so transparent. Best, Carla.

Brilliant! No one else is this transparent (including myself lol) and it's extremely refreshing and super helpful. I look forward to many more cool, insightful videos like this one...but first, PART 2!

Hey Femke, thank you very much of your vedio it helps a lot. Wondering is it possible to walk through your playbook sometimes? think it would be very useful:)

Definitely need a deep dive into design principles

great video! what type of research/tools did your team use to find pain points in this case? thank you

Do you have an auditing template that you re-use for projects/products? I'd love to implement more UX focused practices at my start-up. Great video btw!

Well done Femke! it was awesome. Could you give me some advice about how to write this play book? or some resources that I can follow
Many thanks

Thanks for sharing. It was too insightful.

So do these features come under messaging or Alerts and notifications. Do wealthsimple puts this information under Mesaaging category?

it was great, but how do you measure impression rate?

Gold! - Thanks for sharing this- as a lead this really helps in developing tactics for my team. Also, how do you go about creating product principles? - I assume its a group activity along with PMs

This helped a lot thank you

Great case study ! Would love to learn about your Principles process 😀!

Hey Femke, great video! I noticed in your slide presentation that you added some illustrations. Are those company assets or things you made yourself? And if so, what tool(s) did you use to create them? Have other members on your team adopted a similar presentation look and feel or do they have their own style?

Amazing content! Thanks so giving such an in-depth view. My maybe silly Q is: where do you get the information regarding business pain points? Is that coming from PM when they propose the project, or connecting with analysts to get the hard numbers? This tends to be the gap area in my own case studies 😅

Hey thanks for sharing this. As a designer I also worked on a design system for a travel product that took 2 months. I can totally relate to your process. Thanks for making awesome content as always 😊

great stuff and thanks for sharing this❤

Thank you for sharing

Your content helps me tremendously and makes me love design even more! Thank you so much for being a great resource for us newbie designers.

Pleeease create a video on the creation of principles!

Great case study!
Would love to learn about your Principles process!

So helpful as someone just getting into the UX space!! Thank you for your videos, nothing like seeing real life examples ❤

Looking forward to the 2nd part!!!!

nice! really love this content pls do more on design documentation:) also I wanna know how you set your goals what type of goals a product designer need. Thanks for great videos!

This is so cool

Love how you have added how to measure success for these new components! As a designer we tend to miss on success metrics and focus just on hand offs.

Thanks for sharing! Really helpful. One quick question is your company’s design system build based on framework? Do I need to highlight in slides? Thx

Woow! This is amazing 🤩. I would love if my company allowed me to publicly show my work like you do 🙏. But thanks anyway because that's how er learn!

Love it!
Yes, please create a video on how you define those Principles!

💌

This is so amazing. I've always struggled discussing design system work because the work and impact felt too "small". Thank you for sharing :)

Thank you so much for sharing this! This kind of insight look into how a real company is doing design systems work is invaluable

Amazing presentation, learnt a lot from this ❤ Thanks for sharing the case study

Great presentation, learnt a lot from this as the only designer in my company. Will be happy if you can share a video on the Principles. Can't wait for the next part? 😀

The walkthrough of the process is very insightful, learned quite a lot. The order and process that you put together is something that I wish to follow. Thanks a lot!🙏

Thank you for sharing to us Femke! You bring so much value in the process.

Oh Femke!!! Kudos girl! To be a great experience designer, you got to be a great human being and you're an amazing and empathetic human being! Thanks for great content.
what is the jtbd of playbook? I want to know the thought process behind it? also, at what use case scenarios it can be built?

Yes! I am curious about the design principles, not many people talked about this concept :)

This is so helpful and interesting to watch! Thank you for sharing!

This is such great insight! Thank you! Did any brand designers take part in this process? (Assuming you have a separate sort of brand/marketing design team of sorts). Curious how you work/connect/check in with brand on large projects like this (if at all). I work at a small startup as the brand/marketing design lead, and we’re starting to figure out how/when to involve me on product design initiatives.

Thanks for sharing the case study. I like how you document the pain points and needs. Did the business explicitly articulated the needs or you came up needs based on pain points? I like to learn bit more about the Principals so I am looking forward to a video. Did IT business analysts at Wealth Simple played a role in the project other than 4 people you have recognized at the beginning?
