FORWARD DEPLOYED DESIGNER

A living design system and prototype tool for UNION's defense manufacturing software.
Via Flylance
CLIENT:UNION
LOCATION:Remote
YEAR:2026
Built Forge DS as the single source of truth for UNION's component library - a living design system that documents every UI pattern, color token, and interaction.
Beyond documentation, I built a dedicated prototype tool within the product itself for rapid stakeholder feedback.
