In order to do this, BHC needed a designer who could:

• Visualize system architecture before development
• Align stakeholders across multiple teams (designers, developers, and product managers)
• Implement iterative design updates without disrupting the workflow
• Maintain design consistency across various phases of the project

Without a unified prototype, teams relied on fragmented design files and static documentation, which slowed development cycles and led to inconsistencies in the final product. This is where I came in.

My Impact

With my skill set, I developed and maintained a high-fidelity Figma prototype that would keep us on track. I worked closely with the Solution Architect to design a system that not only fulfilled the client’s requests but also:

• Standardized design components using variables and reusable elements to ensure consistency across phases
• Enabled rapid iteration by allowing stakeholders to see updates in real-time and provide immediate feedback
• Integrated Agile workflows, ensuring design updates aligned seamlessly with development sprints
• Streamlined communication by serving as a single source of truth, reducing misunderstandings between designers and developers

In addition, I took the initiative in:

• Redesigning the company logo, reinforcing brand identity, and ensuring visual coherence across the company's brand
• Delivering high-fidelity interface concepts for prospective client proposals, ensuring future projects for Boston Harbor Consulting
  

Outcomes

My prototype significantly streamlined iteration cycles, enabling design updates within hours rather than days. It enhanced team confidence by providing a real-time interactive model, reducing uncertainty in decision-making. The design system improved cross-functional collaboration, ensuring seamless handoffs between designers, developers, and product managers.
