Newskit UI project

NewsKit

Role
UI Design

As a member of the core team, I contributed to the upkeep of NewsKit, the multi-brand design system of News UK. The system was created to facilitate the creation of cohesive, user-friendly, and accessible experiences across the organisation's various brands.

My responsibilities included maintenance of component libraries, theme libraries in Tokens Studio and Figma, and documentation guides to ensure consistent and efficient design practices. One area of design system I focused on was the theming colour system, identifying and addressing accessibility issues. By adjusting foundation palette ramps to use a consistent lightness scale across all the colours, it was easier and quicker to map contextual colour tokens, knowing which palette combinations would meet contrast requirements.
