TIMELINE
4 months · 2023
Team
Design workstream run end-to-end, working alongside a Creative Director
SCOPE
Full component library · All breakpoints · 100+ market and language sites
I OWNED
The full component library, end to end, through stress-testing and final approval
The challenge
KPMG Global's website refresh demanded a component library elevated enough to carry a new identity, and disciplined enough to survive 100+ market and language sites without breaking under content nobody had stress-tested yet.
What I did
Designed and rebuilt the component library end-to-end: 30+ components inspected, redesigned, and expanded into complete sets, with every breakpoint, authoring scenario, and language accounted for before approval. Each component was stress-tested against accessibility, engineering build standards, and content flexibility so authors could compose any layout without breaking it.
The outcome
Components live across 100+ sites, with design integrity intact years after launch.
TL;DR
A component that looks finished and one that survives a hundred markets are different things; the gap is the due diligence nobody sees in the mockup. I stress-tested 30+ components against the languages, breakpoints, and content lengths most likely to break them, and let evidence settle the fights between beautiful and usable. Years on, they're still live.
My takeaway — and what that means for you
