DESIGN SYSTEM
CONTEXT
MacroHelix helps hospitals, clinics and contract pharmacies manage successful 340B programs so the entities can assist patients in receiving comprehensive and affordable care. Example of contract pharmacies include CVS and Walmart.
PROBLEM STATEMENT
MacroHelix growth and lack of a Product Design Team - they never had a Visual Designer and the UX Designer position was left blank for over 4 months which led to severe user inconsistency across the 340B Architect platform.
What complicated the matters even more for MacroHelix is that they have 5 Product/R&D teams working separately on the same product (340B Architect) relying on the Front End Developers on each of the teams to create their own User Interfaces

RESPONSIBILITIES
Visual Designer brought on to introduce Figma to the Product Teams and to help the Developers build better code and deliver a more focused product with Figma. Create a Design Library, Design Workflow and convert Adobe XD files into Figma.
THE PROCESS
RESEARCH Met with each of the teams to interview the Product Owners, Product Mangers and Front End Developers to understand who, how and what method they are currently using to create the UI Visual Designs.
DEFINITION Started by auditing the different sections of the 340B Architect platform to list out all instances of particular components (Buttons, drop-down, input fields…) to see the differences on the pages and flows.
