    The situation

    VGV is the market leader for Flutter design and development. As Principal Product Designer I worked across their most visible engagements, including work with Google.

    One system for every screen

    I designed the Flutter design system adopted across VGV and Google teams: the same components on the studio's own site, its blog, and the client apps built on it, from phone to tablet to watch.
