React Component System for a Software Company

We redesigned a React component library for a security/OSINT SaaS—establishing tokens, patterns, and accessibility standards. Result: cleaner UI, faster feature delivery, and fewer one-off variants.

Project Overview

A software company asked us to apply cohesive design to its React component library. Screens were dense and data-heavy, with inconsistent styling and accessibility gaps—slowing feature delivery and leading to one-off variants. We audited the system, defined design tokens, rebuilt high-leverage components (tables, filters, forms, modals).

The Challenge

  • Inconsistent UI: Variations in spacing, typography, and states across features.
  • Data complexity: Dense tables/data-grids and filter bars with discoverability issues.
  • A11y gaps: Keyboard traps, weak focus states, and contrast misses.
  • Velocity drag: Ad-hoc component variants and limited documentation slowed delivery.

Our Approach

  • Audit → tokens: Established color, type, spacing, radii, and elevation tokens (light/dark), plus interaction states.
  • High-leverage components: Reworked data-grid/table patterns (sorting, selection, bulk actions, pagination), filter toolbars, modals/drawers, steppers, inputs, validation, and toasts.
  • Accessibility first: Focus rings, logical tab order, ARIA roles/labels, ESC/trap behavior, and compliant contrast.
  • Dev enablement: Storybook with props tables, usage guidelines, and copy/paste examples; consistent naming and versioning.
  • Github versioning: Worked with internal developers to adopt Semantic Versioning and Conventional Commits, add protected branches (main/develop)
