Building a Design System for measurement products: Creating cohesive experience in complex ecosystem
Google’s digital Ads platform is one the biggest in the world. There are well-known products like Google Ads, Google Analytics, Display & Video 360, Search Console to products we haven’t heard of. Even if these products are all part of the Google Ads ecosystem they behaved differently. This was confusing and frustrating for customers and inefficient for product development.
The challenge was to create a flexible, scalable, and customizable design system to standardize integration behaviors for diverse Ads products to increase engagement with a consistent and cohesive experience while shortening the development cycle for the product team.I will share my journey – how I’ve collaborated with cross-functional and cross-product teams to create a design system working for a diverse set of products and successfully built it. Also, most importantly, how I applied and launched it.
