• Frontend Designer

  • Jul 2021 - Jan 2023

  This role at Octopus Deploy is a hybrid between design and development focusing on frontend user experience. My main responsibilities are helping to maintain and enhance the internal design system and working on frontend accessibility, usability and user experience. To do so, I've needed to delve into a mix of technologies focusing on react, typescript, sass, less, npm, lamba, kubernetes, docker as well as some design tools such as figma, lookback, amplitutde, maze and more. As a part of the later half of my role I worked exclusively on Octopus Design System. A couple of the tasks I achieved were: - adding accessibility compliance to new components - establishing new navigation componentry - establishing our design tokens system and our initial tokens for our components - creating a WCAG AA colour matrix and a documentation for each of the above.
