Design system
Working as a UI designer at Stink Studios, we redesigned the website of Polkadot as part of a wider rebrand. An extensive component-based design system was designed in Figma and built in Storybook. An eclectic collection of 3D objects and colourful shapes was created to represent all of the different possibilities on the Polkadot network.
Design system
The large, content-heavy website is managed in CMS by non-designers, and so needs flexibility in all components to cater for any need. Each component was designed with many variables, which can be switched on and off in the CMS depending on the content. Interactions such as hover states and carousel animations were designed for every element.
Sample pages
Sample pages were designed to bring the design system to life and demonstrate how content could be brought to life using the 3D assets and photography.
