Mission
At the end of 2023, Pace Revenue was acquired by FLYR and rebranded as FLYR for Hospitality. Before this, Pace had primarily developed its revenue management platform for hotels using a templated SaaS framework. While the UI and UX were solid, it needed modernisation to compete effectively. My task was to reimagine the overall look and feel, aligning it with modern UI standards, improving global consistency with the brand, and ensuring proper accessibility considerations.
Approach
To achieve this revamp, I needed to help restructure the underlying codebase to support a scalable design system. Since the platform was built on the ANT Design framework, I collaborated closely with engineers to upgrade and prepare it for theming and global UI management in React and Storybook. I then created a brand-new design system in Figma, incorporating every component, variable, and style element used in the codebase. Each component was designed with settings and options that aligned with those available in ANT Design and our custom functions.
Design
The design process began with a thorough analysis of the platform's framework to understand its capabilities. With my coding experience, I collaborated with the engineering teams to help architect a new design framework that would suit both developers and designers moving forward. I catalogued every component and style, then built a new design system in Figma. Working closely with each designer, I ensured they had the resources needed for their specific products. Additionally, I introduced a version control system in Figma to manage and update the design system efficiently in the future.
