Atlas Design System

Establishing design standards for a global streaming platform

Role:

Experience Designer

Scope:

Cross-platform streaming service

Focus:

Documentation, research and evangelism

Overview

As Peacock scaled, the Atlas Design System struggled with inconsistent usage, unclear ownership, and limited accessibility across teams. This created friction in both design and engineering workflows. I helped operationalize and scale the system by improving documentation, establishing contribution workflows, and driving cross-team adoption.

My Impact

Defined a contribution model to support scalable system growth

Established a centralized documentation system (Confluence) for designers, engineers, and product teams

Led workshops and enablement sessions to increase system adoption

Improved cross-team alignment and consistency across product experiences

System Documentation

Created a structured, accessible source of truth for components, patterns, and usage guidelines. Enabled self-service access across design and product teams

Governance & Contribution Model

Defined workflows for submitting, reviewing, and approving new components. Helped prevent fragmentation and maintain system integrity as teams scaled

Adoption & Education

Led recurring workshops and internal communication efforts. Increased awareness and usage of Atlas across distributed teams

Outcomes

Improved design consistency across Peacock experiences

Reduced redundancy in component creation

Enabled more efficient collaboration between design and engineering
