Cognizant.com

Overview

As the Associate Director of User Experience, I oversaw and managed the visual design and interactive experiences of cognizant.com.

For 8+ years I was intimately involved in many types of projects beyond the traditional conception and design of global marketing campaigns. This included establishing new development practices, migrating coding frameworks, building prototypes, and contributing to project management templates and standards.

I worked collaboratively with a wide range of people from across multiple disciplines: writers, designers, project managers, developers, engineers, clients and stakeholders, 3rd party vendors, external agencies and more.

Figma design library

In order to maintain consistency across all the digital channels, I created and maintained Cognizant’s Figma design library.

To match the live, production-ready components created with the development team, I reverse engineered everything into Figma. This would ensure that anything that was created would be as close to the final product as possible.

This approach gave confidence that what was presented would be visually accurate and able to be produced, resulting in 2-3x faster turn-around from presentation to launch.

Component documentation

For years, documentation was badly needed. I was finally able to fill that void with a guide created with the online platform Zeroheight.

Questions were constantly asked about what components were available, what were their options, and if certain layouts or interactions were possible.

With Zeroheight, I was able to document everything from the core styles to live demos of components. Zeroheight’s simple interface and powerful capabilities made documenting all parts of the design library quick and efficient.
