In 2022, I was challenged to lead the Volvo Core Team in creating the Volvo Group Design System. Developing a design system is always a challenge, but at Volvo, it was even more so. Many stakeholders were unfamiliar with the concept, its benefits, and its potential impact. On top of that, we were given an extremely tight deadline for an MVP, just four months. Given the complexity of a company with over 100,000 employees, the task was daunting. Our goal was to deliver a design system that was compliant with the Volvo brand and brought consistency across our multiple touchpoints. This would enable us to create a seamless experience in the future while also reducing development costs for the company.
