Brandable UI Design System

Summary

In 2024, I began building Brandable UI, a React-based design system and component library focused on helping teams create highly branded, visually distinct user interfaces. Unlike generic frameworks that often result in products looking the same, Brandable UI is designed to be flexible and expressive, allowing developers and designers to quickly apply unique branding elements—colors, typography, corner radii, shadows, and micro-interactions—while maintaining consistency and scalability across a project.

The library is built with React, TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS, and its components are documented in Storybook to provide clear guidance for developers and designers alike. Each component is designed to be modular and reusable, with thoughtful attention to accessibility (WCAG standards) and responsiveness. To make implementation seamless, I also created a theming system that allows teams to define their brand's design tokens and see the entire library instantly adapt to their styles.

Beyond the core library, Brandable UI also supports headless CMS integrations, empowering content editors to build rich, dynamic pages without sacrificing performance or brand cohesion. This project has been an opportunity for me to combine my technical expertise in frontend engineering with my background in graphic design and branding, creating tools that enable teams to build beautiful, functional interfaces faster and more efficiently.
