Me and UI: Alex’s Experience

Why did you choose to join Vodafone’s Design System team?
I think Design System is a natural direction for any Digital organisation that wants to reduce inconsistencies, optimise internal processes and deliver a better, more exciting experience to the user. Seeing that this is a priority for the business helps you to understand how progressive your workplace is or wants to be. Creating a Design System for a company of Vodafone’s caliber is one of a kind opportunity, which I believe will help me to mature professionally even more. I was very excited to join my team from day one.

How is Vodafone’s Design System team different from other places you used to work at in the past?
Coming from another large organisation, I know how sometimes hard it can be to push for a change or improvement due to the scale of the business.

And as a growing designer with an appetite for big-impact projects, I was positively surprised to find out how much of the autonomy my team has to make decisions and implement the design solutions regardless of their scale. You can surely see that the team is responsive to new ideas and proposals. The workplace where you can make a positive impact regardless of your seniority is the most exciting place to be, isn’t it?
