Say that again, asking for a “friend”

During the kick-off meeting, the Chauncey team definitely had to explain what their platform does a few times. We love working on complex projects and problems; any designer worth their salt should. But to create the best solution, we really needed to get in the weeds, have no ego, and embrace the “there is no such thing as a dumb question” mentality.

Design System

By having a design system in place, teams can work more efficiently. Designers can focus on creating new components or refining existing ones within the system, ensuring a cohesive UI. Developers can leverage these designs and guidelines to implement the UI quickly and effectively.

Unique color system

The major benefits of the come down to simplification in colors used on the website and ease of use creating component simply by layering the same semi transparent cards over on another.

This made developing more complicated components for the dashboards a breeze and kept the development simple since only one background color needed to be used on the front end for 90% of the app.

Text colors and sizes were also simplified on the front end as only 4 colors were needed and the opacity system handed emphasizing and de-emphasizing various text depending on the depth and brightness level used.

Background Elevation Colors

Elevation colors are various opacities of white used to stack over each other to create layers and depth.

Foreground Elevation Colors

Foreground elevation 1 is the most used elevation. Using this Color/opacity for the background of elements in elements naturally creates depth and contrast between parent and child elements.
Other elevation levels are used more sparingly in the design and are mostly used to create contrast between elements like cards and buttons that are at the same depth/layer.

Text Colors

Other elevation levels are used more sparingly in the design and are mostly used to create contrast between elements like cards and buttons that are at the same depth/layer.

GRAPHS WITH A PURPOSE

All too often, graphs look cool, but don’t actually provide value. With so many metrics being tracked to monitor usage and understand the impact of creations, the graphs needed to be simple enough to gather info at a glance, while allowing further investigation with filtering mechanisms.
The team was just genuinely excited to work on Chauncey from day 1. We collaborated to find a technical solution that worked within our current framework, the could get us to market ASAP, and would then scale into more robust versions.

Once the design system was in place, it all began to manifest into a complete User Interface. UI components were designed to be reusable and independent, allowing developers to easily integrate them into different parts of the product.
This modularity ensures scalability as new features can be developed by combining existing components. We collaborated to the Chauncey engineers to develop a React frontend application and Go backend.
