Originating from the long-term and large-scale design process of jFoundation, the design team carefully considered, planned, and spent time researching and building this design system. With their dedication and commitment to Design System, let’s hear from our design lead, Nguyen Ho Phuoc Hau, about this determined design journey.
Early April 2022
Nguyen Ho Phuoc Hau joined the jFoundation design team and quickly realized the challenges in his work. Due to the lack of coordination and interaction between designers, the design process took a lot of time and resources. In addition, the project was constantly evolving and changing, making the design process even more difficult.
To address this issue, Hau proposed to the PO to design a design system for the project. After a week of consideration, Hau’s proposal was approved.
At first, due to the project’s progress, Hau had to do all the work himself, from preparation, reference, and research to planning and timeline. Hau spent time after finishing tasks and time outside of work hours to complete the work. With the main requirement being to quickly meet the needs of the project, Hau considered developing the design system in a flexible direction, which could be changed and expanded in the future.
Mid-June 2022
After a period of effort, the initial version of jFoundation Design System 1.0 was officially released. This initial version met the basic requirements, providing high consistency for the project’s products. However, at first, the designers in the team still had difficulty using Design System. They felt constrained by the pre-defined design rules and principles.
After a period of use, the designers gradually realized the convenience and uniformity of Design System. This helped to reduce the design and development time by half, as well as reduce the testing and development time by a quarter.
Seeing the positive signs, the team continued to develop the second phase of jFoundation Design System to complete the remaining components.
Early September 2022
jFoundation Design System is continuing to develop version 2.0 to meet the full needs of the products in the project. Version 2.0 has been used so far and has brought about positive results.
However, the team is still continuing to develop additional components to help the design process become even better. In addition, the team also hopes to receive support contributions and feedback from the community to work together to develop jFoundation Design System even more completely.
Late August 2023
The first time we shared jFoundation Design System with the community, we received a lot of downloads and contributions. We are very excited and grateful for the community’s support.
We still hope to receive more feedback and comments from the community to work together to develop jFoundation Design System even more completely.
At the moment, Design System has come closer to our designers, jFoundation always wants to bring useful fragments.
Starting with the goal for the community, and developing for the community, jFoundation hopes that individuals and organizations using Design System will cite sources, and have more accurate evaluations because we have put in a lot of potential and resources. Let’s develop together in a sustainable way!
