ABOUT THIS PROJECT

Ethos, TIAA’s first enterprise-wide design system, emerged from a need to unify user experience and increase dev-to-design efficiency. Lack of brand recognition, inconsistent workflows and low collaboration had resulted in a fragmented digital identity and customer experience.

Results & outcomes

By creating a library of components that are scalable and meet WCAG 2.1 AA compliance led to improved efficiency, reduced redundancy, and improved SEO performance.

Our documentation site provides a centralized source of truth resulted in strengthened brand identity and streamlined workflows. Collaborating with teams to drive adaptation strengthened team dynamics and smoother transitions.
