IQVIA is a Fortune 500 company in health data and life sciences. The FlowUX team designed UX and UI for healthcare and pharmaceutical products, working with companies such as Novartis and Pfizer.
I joined as Lead Designer and also built the team: I interviewed and hired the designers who joined it.
The product was a complex dashboard built in React on Material UI. Every design had to reach development as an exact 1:1 replica of the prototype, and each new designer risked drifting from the structure.
- 01Map the code. Went through the coded dashboard component by component with the developers.
- 02Rebuild in Figma. Turned it into a library of reusable Figma components that mirror the React ones.
- 03Expose variables. Colour and typography became variables, so a new project changes the skin without touching the structure.
- 04Stay 1:1. Reviewed builds side by side with development until prototype and product matched.
Designers who joined later kept the dashboard consistent by changing variables only. Other teams inside the company adopted the method, which sped up product work well beyond our team.
