Two designers and six engineers were rebuilding the same components in slightly different ways. Screens drifted apart, and every review turned into a style debate.
I audited every screen, merged duplicates into one set of components, and wrote down when to use each one. Color, type, and spacing now live in one place for design and code.

Every screen, every variant

When to use each component
Design reviews now focus on the problem, not the pixels. Next time, I would pair with an engineer from day one instead of handing off the library at the end.
