Instead of migrating the existing files, we rebuilt the platform from the ground up. This avoided carrying years of design debt into the new platform. We established clear criteria for what belonged in the design system and what remained client-specific, keeping the system scalable without limiting customization. I introduced AI-powered Figma plugins to automate white-label skinning, speed up design system documentation, and eliminate repetitive tasks, allowing the team to focus on higher-value design decisions.
