Raet has a diverse landscape of cloud solutions. When I joined Raet there was a project to develop a greenfield HR platform. I was hired to be the UX lead on this project.

To ensure that also new products from Raet and existing products could benefit from the new development and improved design I took the initiative to design and develop a comprehensive Design System.

I achieved to get a full buy-in from senior management and was given the opportunity to hire and execute on the strategy. It resulted in a team of 4 front-end engineers, a UX designer and a dedicated Product Owner.

To ensure a broad adaption we created a comprehensive Design System in close collaboration with the Brand Manager to adhere to the Raet Brand Guidelines  I developed a model to evolve our existing product portfolio.
