FORGE
"I built the design system that made a financial platform trustworthy at scale."
01 The Problem
Financial interfaces were visually inconsistent across Meridian's product suite. Different teams, different decisions, no single source of truth. In financial services, inconsistency is a trust deficit.
02 The System
FORGE introduced a token-based design system with semantic naming, full component documentation, accessibility standards built in, and a developer handoff layer that closes the Figma-to-code gap.
03 The Result
A single visual language across 48 components and 12 pattern categories, versioned like software, documented like a product, and built to survive a rebrand. One token change cascades to every surface. Zero find-and-replace nightmares.
