SUMMARY
A long-term initiative, I introduced the tenets of Atomic Design to HBO to both increase efficiency and enable global scalability, while bringing consistency to an evolving set of UX design patterns.
In order to accomplish this, we not only built a team focused on Design Systems, but ensure that this team was deeply integrated with our engineering staff. All the while, we worked to make this new structure work with our scaled agile process.
In addition to designer / developer efficiency, HBO continues to benefit from the extensible framework, having used this as the basis for the launch of AT&T’s HBO Max product.
