Problem

HP needed a way to ensure a unified design system across its large global workforce of designers and developers. With so many people involved, achieving consistency and collaboration became a challenge. They sought a solution to streamline communication, share design principles effectively, and maintain a cohesive brand identity.

Solution

Forward Digital developed a user-friendly website as a centralized hub for their design system. Tailored pages for designers showcased interactive component previews, while developers received code snippets and a reusable Angular library for seamless integration. Frequent communication with HP ensured valuable solutions that elevated the brand's identity and competitiveness in the market.

Our Approach

We initiated the project by engaging in interviews and workshops with HP's global team, delving into the unique needs of designers and developers.

This in-depth understanding allowed us to tailor our solutions to cater to their specific requirements effectively.

Co-Creation and Collaboration

Throughout the project, we emphasized a collaborative approach, maintaining open channels of communication with HP's team.

By involving key stakeholders in decision-making and solution development, we ensured a sense of ownership and active participation in the project's progress.

Agile Iterations and Continuous Feedback

This allowed us to fine-tune our approach, address evolving needs, and swiftly adapt to any challenges that arose during the implementation process.
